My Photo Galery: Part Three/Flora and Fauna

This time I decided to gather all pictures of flora and fauna which I have not included yet in my previous posts. The beauty of nature always enthralled me whatsoever. I just have an enormous attraction for every wonderful thing that God has created. They are so colorful that inspire my spirit to just take pictures as many as I can.

Let me start with the flowers that we have in our front yard.These four pictures above were the ones that captivated my attention at that time. However, my favorite plants are the geraniums because they are perennials and stay colorful all year round. I don't think I have pictures of them yet  but they are the ones that dress up our porch. They make good hanging plants.

It's very obvious that I like purple and yellow colors. All these pictures of tulips were taken when we went to Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm Festival in Oregon. It was such a great experience to see the vastness of the colorful field. I was just amazed how the field owners manage to grow different varieties of the flower. I have never seen double or triple-layered petals in the store but I saw them there.

These four pictures were taken during our vacation in the Islands of Kauai and Maui. All were just inside our resort. The Water Hyacinth was so little that I have to bring it closer. It was just on the vase in front of the Market Place of Marriott Waiohai.  The bird was by the man-made pond  in front of our hotel room. The lizard and the tangerine orchid, both were taken in Maui.

For a couple of times, we went to San Jose Rose Garden and these are the pictures that I found in my files. Hubby and I want to see the roses when they start to bloom in Spring time. We have quite a collection of pictures from there but I just want to show flowers with no other background people.

All these are familiar picture of Los Gatos Creek where we usually go for our recreational walk. These pleasant scenery shorten the actual miles and make our every step so light... "sort of"  because we always find them so entertaining, so relaxing and so refreshing.
