Blue is Beautiful

Today I have a collage of one of my most favorite wild flowers!

This flower always represents summer time to me, they bloom later during the summer months and I remember seeing thousands of them in full bloom along the road sides of the California foothills. For most of my childhood my parents were very poor and one of the ways we would get out for a day of fun in the sun is my dad would take us on a ride (gasoline was more reasonable then) up into the foothills or the Sierras and we would spend the day, fishing, hiking and picnicing. One of the things I loved to do was see how many different kinds of wild flowers I could find. And that's it for today don't forget October is national breast cancer awareness month........
