A shot from the garden/park area of the campus where I work.

Spanish moss drips from trees all over the south and I love the look of it. Others don't.

I occasionally like to check out the new blooms on my way into work in the morning.

Large plots of plantings surround the fountain. As the seasons change, so do the flowers.

Walk a little further and you might see a dragon fly taking a break in his quest for necter.

Hibiscus - Hollyhocks?

Taken: 6/25/2010

These blooms are huge and I wonder if they are hibiscus or hollyhocks;

both members of the mallow family of Malvaceae.

Whatever their name, they are gorgeous just the same.

Just a few steps away are the vibrant reds. Don't they just pop against the green leaves?

One last look before we have to leave the garden and head to the office.

What a nice way to start the day.

I hope yours started of as nicely.
