Flowers from the Backyard


I took this shot few hours ago when it was nice and sunny... now it's raining like crazy, but anyway, now it's dark outside! The flower's size it's about the size of a penny, so I guess I can call this a close-up, isn't it? :D

Today's joke:

Two men are waiting at the gates of heaven and strike up a conversation.
- How did you die? the first man asks the second.
- I froze to death, says the second.
- That's awful, says the first man. How does it feel to freeze
to death?
- It's very uncomfortable at first, says the second man. You get
the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes. But eventually, it's a very calm way to go. You get numb and you kind of drift off, as if you're sleeping. How about you, how did you die?
- I had a heart attack, says the first man. You see, I knew my wife was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home unexpectedly but found her alone watching television. I ran around the house looking for her lover but could find no one. As I ran up the stairs to the attic, I had a massive heart attack and died.
The second man shakes his head.
- That's so ironic, he says.
- What do you mean? asks the first man.
- If you had only stopped to look in the freezer, we'd both still be alive!

  5. Diana, unfortunately sometimes a camera cannot reproduce the same image as they look in reality, and in reality these small wild flowers look awesome. Thanks for the comment!

  6. Hi Ana, well, when I said dark, I meant the night was coming... about sunshine, we didn't enjoy that thing since tuesday, when lots of clouds gathered over Houston, beside that, yesterday we had a really bad weather, lots of rain and thunderstorms...

  35. I agree with Morning Glory about them being Oxalis blooms. I have several clumps that return each year and I am always compelled to take some pics of them. Few have turned out as nicely as this one did. Well taken.

    Thanks for sharing.
