Some days I am blessed to find beauty hiding in the shadows right off my balcony. Other days I choose to search it out, which usually includes a drive out to the country.
Today was no exception. My plan was to focus on the beauty of the cacti in bloom up in the Hill Country.
And I certainly wasn’t disappointed. The colors were so incredibly vivid that it seemed as if every bloom had been painted by hand.
And then I got distracted . . .
Oh goodness, what a beautiful distraction. This little guy was a bit camera shy, but the moment was absolutely priceless. Do you notice his mama back there making sure he is staying out of trouble? 🙂
Now back to my cactus blooming! A bee decided to join in on the fun and do a little pollinating . I didn’t want to get too much closer.
And then I got distracted . . .
“Yeah, I am a weirdo! And, your point is?”
Now back to my bloom dang it! Wow! He is a bit of a messy pollinator isn’t he? At least I have found the source of Haley’s sneezing all afternoon! Pollen is everywhere you look!
And then I got distracted . . .
Ruh roh . . . I think the kid is about to get soaked!
And, yup I am still distracted . . .
Ooops! The rocks get a bit slippery when they are wet!
Hmmmm . . .
Maybe sometimes distractions aren’t such a bad thing!
