Flowers on Saturday

This will be my fourth participation in Flowers on Saturday.As much as I love writing about Sanibel Island FL and sharing my pictures with you, I also LOVE taking photographs of flowers. People would look at me funny when amongst my other pictures I would also have lots of photos of flowers.  Well, who's crazy now!!  Turns out not me! LOL

The first photo that I shared a few weeks ago was a picture of a brilliant purple Clematis.  It wasn't mine.  I was dog sitting at a coworkers house and I took tons of pictures of their flowers.They were amongst the first ones that kinda looked at me as if I were crazy for taking so many photos of their flowers.  But later they turned some of my photos into a gift of  coffee mugs for each other.

These are my Clematis.  My father gave me a small vine at the end of the season last year.  It's about 3 ft high now and full of buds that are finally starting to bloom.  The purple isn't as vibrant as the earlier flower I shared but still pretty just the same.

Look at all those buds.  I can't believe how many flowers are on this tiny vine.  I can't wait to see them all open up!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend.  I am in Louisville KY and tonight is "Thunder Over Louisville"  The WORLD's largest fire works show which is the kickoff of the KY Derby Festival.  All kinds of events happening in the next two weeks leading up to the KY Derby, which is the 1st Saturday in May.
