Colour me Bright

It's not hard to see why the Butterflies are attracted to these flowers.

I'm sure they are getting their fill.

Almost the Same

There is a bird very much like this one in a photo I took back home, the one here in TX doesn't seem to be as cooperative as this fellow was.  I will keep trying.

Pyrrhuloxia

Now that's a mouthful.  Large cardinal-like finch.  Eats insects, larvae,seeds fruits and berries.

On the day I took these pictures he was eating leaves, or maybe licking the larvae off the leaves?

More about the Point

Here in TX there are similar blooms on the cacti

No Particular Point

I just wanted to share this picture for no other reason then for the beauty of the bloom. 

Playing Around

This is the original photo.

Almost Snow

My intent was to take a photo of this little green bug on the curtain and once I did I then removed the bug as the curtains looked so lovely, the light from the window enhanced the folds.

Looking a little like snow.
