Good morning all.

Right now the crepe myrtle trees are blooming. They last quite awhile and thrive here in Waco. I have some pictures, but can't find them, so I'll go take a few today.

Here is a link to many links about crepe myrtles - known as the lilac of the south.

That seems unlikely to me.
The missus complains when I don't use the Arrid.

May we all find our Fred - and be a Fred in this life.

The Magnolia will grow just fine in Austin, and is the true flowering tree of the South.

The only drawback to the Magnolia is having the year-round leaf roundup, otherwise, they are wonderful.

That is what "The Help" is for.

LOL - they don't come 'round often enough for Mrs.L, so it's up to me.

Our recent rains have yielded some lovely blossoms on the tree.

[Mo1]

Oh wow .. great picture Gran

What kind of photo software do you use?

[Sundog]

Those little flowers are amazing, Ever notice how in a patch, they all have their 'heads' point right way up? Never is there one sideways or upside down.

Love your pic of Mt. Ranier -- I remember the talk of the Indian legends that about 1799 it came to life and as I remember the sequence...

1. Big earthquake (Cascadia quake ~8 on the richter scale.)
2. All water leaves Puget Sound. Muck on the bottom visible.
3. All water returns to Puget Sound. Debris on the 200' vertical line as reported by the early settlers.
4. Tsunami wave reported on that day in Chinese coastal village records, all the way across the Pacific.
5. Lava begins flowing into the magma chamber under Ranier, opened up by the quake.
6. Explosive eruption as was Mt. St. Helens, the shock wave creates numerous nearby rolling hills.
7. The glacier top and snow fields are very rapidly liquidated.
8. The slurry moves in a huge wall down to lake Washington and out to Puget sound, through Seattle.
9. Ash begins to fall in depths measured as several feet.

Historical analysis of previous events that resulted in widespread tree falls and tree ring dating of trees buried in muck reveal this to be a regular phenomenon with a period of about 200 years.

----- Yes, that is a beautiful photograph.
