This post is totally for Brent. You all know how much he loves pretty flowers...loves planting them, caring for them, nurturing them, and watching them blossom. I remember, years ago, when a ball flew into the planter box, breaking off one of his tender marigolds, and he taped it back up with Scotch tape!
It is flower season on La Reunion; we can't even begin to describe it. Flowering bushes, trees, mounds everywhere...along the roadside, covering the hills, appearing wild, growing in gardens, exploding out of pots. I wish we could really give you a panorama shot, but our little point and shoot doesn't even begin to capture the beauty (we couldn't bring anything more powerful...too heavy). The last couple of weeks as we have driven to appointments, we would pull over, jump quickly out of the car and record the beauty. Soooooo, here are a few close ups, chosen by Brent, just for his friends at home!

| This obviously isn't a flowering anything, but Brent LOVES these amber bushes. They are multicolored shades of amber, sometimes with sprinkles of maroon leaves. He is trying to figure out how to take one home. Good luck! |
Welcome to winter on La Reunion island, with gratitude and reverence for
Him who created it all.
Your friends, The Castaways
Happy one year on mission. Keep up the good work, YOU ARE DOING A GREAT WORK! love, Bill & Marcia
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the flowering tree. I think that one is my favorite. I'd give anything to have that in my front yard.
