LOVELY! Thank you for sharing.

I have one question. In the first set of pictures you posted, there are some very, very light pink flowers in the top right corner. Those grow wild around here. Are those the primrose??

Thanks!

I'm glad that you enjoyed the pics.
The second picture in the first set is the Pink Evening Primrose. And they do grow wild over most of the eastern part of Texas. There are also white and yellow varieties.

These just came up in our yard and now are trying to take over. They are also called "Buttercups".

You don't live too far from where my brother lives. He pastor's the Nazarene Church in Grand Saline. Do you know where that is?

I love your photos!!

Thanks, Beth. Coming from a real photographer, I consider that a nice compliment. You do great work.

Grand Saline... that would be 37 miles from our house.
We pass the church on our way to Dallas/Ft. Worth to see our kids.

And your brother's name?

My brother is Randy Larpenteur. He's only been at Grand Saline since October, I believe. He pastored in Hamlin, Texas (near Abilene) for almost 10 years before moving to Grand Saline. I pray that they Lord will bless his ministry there. He sure does love people!
