Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis)
Grass Burs
AKA painful after-church entertainment for me and my cousins in the 1970s. The small church we attended had a vacant field by the parking lot. It was full of these pesky things. We’d pick them and then chase each other and throw them at each other. OUCH!

The Orange Pom-Pom Fruit of the Paper Mulberry
CLICK HERE for an excellent description of the tree, its leaves, and its fruit. I read that the orange part is edible (but I value life, so not sure I’ll try it).

Ever seen a Question Mark? Now you have. That’s the name of this butterfly.
Ever seen a Question Mark? Now you have. That’s the name of this butterfly. This one showed up in my moss garden just after I had watched a cardinal, cedar waxwing, and black capped chickadee perching on the rim of the birdbath facing each other and taking turns splashing in the water. After they left, the great architect Christopher Wren dropped by for a visit. I’m so thankful for this view of God’s creativity from my office window.

The Amazing Passion Flower
The passion flower never ceases to amaze me. From a Texas A&M horticulture website: “Roman Catholic priests of the late 1500’s named it for the Passion (suffering and death) of Jesus Christ. They believed that several parts of the plant, including the petals, rays, and sepals, symbolized features of the Passion.”

Almost totally fake video made with Pixeloop using one of my photos.
This uses one of my actual photos taken at White Rock Lake, and then overlays with an effect (rain) and sky from Pixeloop.
