When walking the dogs in the open space recently, I noticed that the winter rains had brought this bush ("Pride of Madeira") into bloom. At the time, I didn't have my camera with me (not even my iphone), but I resolved to return and take some photographs.

Yes, and I also have been known to drive specifically out of my way in order to take a photo of something somewhere ... actually, I have even commandeered (sp?) a boat to get some coastal shots I wanted. Luckily TE is very obliging in those particular moments of madness .... and we have a boat!
ReplyDeleteI often intend to..let's put it like that!
ReplyDeleteI have intended to numerous times. I actually have a few times!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous plant Rinda. Thanks for the great photo that introduced it to me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph! Such interesting texture!
ReplyDeleteI have not returned to take a photo, but I have returned to pick up junk or treasurers off the street. My sons hate when I do that.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, those are some beautiful flowers. Wondering - How tall are they?
ReplyDeleteYou bet I did! Your pride of Madeira is gorgeous - thank you for posting these. They're all over the place at the coast at the moment and I never knew what the name of this plant is. Glad I'm wiser now!
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful en masse like this ... I sometimes think I will, but more often don't!
ReplyDeletevery interesting looking plant!
ReplyDeleteYes, I go back, and like Amy, often go out of my way to capture an image. These are beautiful. It's a plant I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful and I love that you went back to capture the image.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely I have never seen them before and I do go back to photograph something I saw but couldn't stop. My husband sometimes drives me so that I don't have to worry about stopping or parking somewhere unsuitable!
ReplyDeleteWOWEE they really are extraordinary ... the rare times I leave the house without my camera ... well you know how it is so I try to always have it with me
ReplyDeleteoxo
We have lots of those around here too and they are quite stunning when in bloom... not so much the rest of the time. Didn't know their name though so thank you!
ReplyDeleteWe were out last weekend & the bluebonnets were in bloom, so this weekend we made a point to take the camera out for another drive & capture them before they wither away!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely pictures Rinda. As for going back to get a picture, I intend to sometimes but that's usually about as far as I get.
