Favorites Series - Wisteria


Wisteria's purple blooms are so beautiful. Wispy and winding they hang off of the Wisteria tree in large bunches. When I see a Wisteria tree filled with bunches of blooms, a magical feeling comes over me. Several years ago on a sunny April afternoon, I visited Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville. Cave Hill is on the National Register of Historic Places and is definitely a 'must do' stop if you visit downtown Louisville. There is a beautiful lake, gorgeous architectural gardens and headstones and landscaped lawns everywhere. Ornamental trees and bushes thrive throughout the entire grounds. I love Wisterias and decided this image would be perfect for my Favorites Series.

On a side note, it isn't often that I can say I haven't been out to take photographs for a good while. In this case it's been about six weeks. No sooner had I gotten over bronchitis than I had to have some major dental work, two root canals and two crowns. I thought I had escaped ever having to have a root canal especially after hearing all of the horror stories about them over the years. There have been more people working in my mouth in the past week than I think there have been in my whole life. Thankfully, that is behind me and Spring is upon us. ENJOY!

Wisteria


Wisteria image I captured last Spring in Nashville, Indiana, at the arts and crafts village, with a little texture added on. ENJOY!

Otter Creek Park

Yesterday was an overcast day and in some areas of Louisville rain showers fell. Not being dissuaded, and after checking the radar closely, I decided to take the 45 minute drive out to Otter Creek Park which is situated just south of southwest Louisville.

Arriving at the park, the sun began to peek out between the clouds and blue skies were making an appearance. At times deep into the park, it reminded me a little of the Roaring Fork Nature Trail in the Smokies, minus the Roaring Fork, as some areas held more moisture than others. Wildflowers, dogwoods and wisterias were blooming in abundance. I happened upon these little slivers of fern, growing around the base of this tree, as I drove the route back to Blue Hole. This particular image is a favorite. The moss surrounding the base of the tree, bright purple violets blooming brightly, and the ferns sprouting up, perfect. With the moisture in this section of the park, it was nice to find the ferns attempting to take hold.

And least I forget, the Wisteria, which I learned after my Google search last evening, blooms white, as well as that lovely lavender, smelled fantastic. ENJOY!
