Amongst the Thorns

It is overcast and chilly today, but yesterday, I took these photos to show you another of my favorite things friday when the sun was bright and warm upon us.  I save pics like these to brighten my day  as called for.  But, really, I'm not complaining - it's suppose to start raining late tonight and we so need it.  In fact, my husband said Monday before he started the rainbird:  "It's so dry even the weeds didn't come up this year"! Here is what I found amongst the thorns:




This one on the right is only an inch across.
These last little lovelies are only a 1/4" across!

I'm linking to Shay's Favorite Things Friday - on my sidebar.  What is your favorite thing today?

    Beautiful photos of your "posies". It has been a dry winter here in the Midwest as well, but the weather pattern is beginning to change. Should we do a rain dance?

    Is there anything you cant grow? I think I need to pay you to come to my house and design a gorgeous garden.

    Hmnnnnn if cacti are hardy maybe I should think about putting some in!

    Mother Nature is such a 'show off' in the nicest way possible. Lovely photos Angie.
