In my opinion, roses are definitely the queen of flowers. We all appreciate their beauty and the heavenly scent they emanate. The variety of roses with their impressive colors allow us to choose the right one to send our messages of love and friendship. 💐

“A snake knows more about what is happening around than any other creature, because it has no ears to listen to gossip only direct perception.”-Jaggi Vasudev

Northern water snakes (Nerodia sipedon) are some of the most common water snakes in the United States. The reptiles’ bodies can be varying shades of gray, tan, buff, or brown, and the juvenile snakes are often more brightly colored than the adults. As adults, they have dark bands and are often mistaken for copperheads or cottonmouths, but these snakes are not venomous. However, when agitated they may flatten their bodies and bite. Fully grown water snakes are between 2 and 4.5 feet (0.6 and 1.4 meters) long, with most measuring about 3.5 feet (one meter) long.

Kwanzan Cherry Blossom Trees (Prunus serrulata) have a reputation for being some of the showiest cherries at the National Cherry Blossom Festival, with dramatic, deep pink double-blossoms. But Kwanzan cherry trees are eye-catching year-round, with leaves that emerge a rich red-copper hue before taking on a green shade and finally turning yellow in fall.

This is a photo from last year, beautiful cherry trees in the park. Hope this year they bloom like this one soon!

Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋‍♀️

Do not go where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The rain and wind these days have not helped the trees with their colorful leaves. Most are falling dry and brown or still are green.
