Carnations

Another example of carnations that were given by PTO members to teachers during Teacher Appreciation week in Dell City.  For the first example, see this earlier post.

Mexican Smoke Bush

We found this bush growing beside a track through the Sacramento Mountains on our way to Timberon.  It was so delicately beautiful, it reminded me of feathers.

Pink Carnation

An image of a pink carnation destined to be delivered to a teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week.  The Parent Teacher Organization in Dell City did something different each day to show appreciation to the teachers for their hard work all year.

Azalea Blossoms

My mother's azaleas. I always took these flowers for granted when I lived in Florida. Now I really miss them. This image actually won 2nd place at the 2006 Chilifest, other known as the Hudspeth County Fair & Rodeo.
