The Simple Beauty of Morning Glory Blooms...

Our first 4 morning glories bloomin' on the fence! yay....

Up until now, I've grown them from seeds in pots & enjoyed letting them cascade whimsically over the edge of my potting table every Summer.....This year, I decided to line the pots along this lil' retaining wall to see how they looked......I think they look reeeeeel cottage sweet & pretty here, lolol, so next year I'll put seeds in the ground and grow them on the fence permanently where they will reseed themselves every year <3

 Our neighbor's pretty lilac crepe myrtle blooming right now....I love those trees...

Okie, that wraps up with our first 4 Morning Glory Blooms on the fence.....I love their heart shaped leaves and how fresh they always look in the morning to greet the Summer sunshine.....

Next year I'll plant more and they will be all filled in really pretty....We've had purple ones like these, and the classic blues and pinks over the years, as well as white ones...... I think any of the colors would be charming here, but I think I like these violet blues the best for this area.......

All the lush greens of this season, mixed with the colors & heart shaped leaves of Morning Glory vines, are always so refreshing to the senses & soothing to the soul....~ Susie <3.

Happy July 4th 2014.....Nature's Rainbow Firework!....

cool serendipitous (and totally unedited) photo i took last week, how i did it, who knows, i tried immediately to replicate it, to no avail...something about the sun and the camera lens created this pretty star burst prisma colors magic, i thought it was very pretty....reminded me of how angel fairies of joy and happiness get to earth each day.....~ susie <3

Spring ~ Pink 'n Pretty Azaleas in our yard.....
