Pictures for Pam, Day 184: Happy Mother's Day!

Pictures for Pam, Day 184: Happy Mother's Day!
(+4 insets!) (Please view large for best impact!)

Since we got back from our trip, the floral extravaganza continues to explode here as it does every year. One of the plants that grows in massive carpets all over is Hairy Vetch, which is a member of the pea or legume family. This non-native plant is found all over the US because it is a favored companion crop in agriculture and livestock love to eat this healthy forage. It features lovely sprigs of lavender and purple blossoms that catch the light and glow like beacons.

In the morning as the sun casts its beams across our meadow and road, thousands of Vetch flowers light up and glow warmly. Its wonderful translucent leaves glow as well, and looking closely, the tendrils can be seen grasping onto anything within reach.

I have taken many pictures of these pretty flowers so I did my best to resist. This morning I finally caved to the irresistible beauty of this yearly show. And so I went inside and reemerged with my camera, relieved to finally give in to the calls from the flowers.

I thought it would be a nice choice to share such a lovely sight for Mother's Day, and I'll be posting some of my archive pictures too, and a couple of other flower pictures to celebrate all of you mothers out there! Perhaps I fit in the mix too, even though I've never been a biological mom…I am certainly a mother to all of my companions through the years and nurture them with all the love any doting mother has! :)

Pam, you didn't have anything for "Mother's Day" so I found a picture of a pair of your kids in "Paw Prints on the Heart". You are such a good mama, and this pair of rainbow pups sure did love you! :) HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY PAM!!! *BIG HUGS*

Explored on 5/13/19; highest placement #6.

A wonderful floral collection Janet.............the main image is beautifully lit, with lovely colours and a super background. I like all the images in the PiPs too, especially the daisies with the translucent petals and the dogwood blossom with the gorgeous white flower among those fresh green tones.

Excellent work as always...................and a fine tribute to all the mothers out there!

*Hairy vetch*.................who thought of that! What a horrible name for such a beautiful flower!

We celebrated Mother's Day a while ago - but funnily enough it was the day I spent with my two children and my grandchildren. The only person missing was Mandi's husband. We had a beautiful selfie done of us all, so I'm going to see if I can superimpose his face with us, then that'll be my whole family
