I have not been able to do a midweek post on flowers or gardening because of raising money for Ana Hurtado Aponte. Please refer to my previous posts on her dilemma and needs.
The wait for some new flower photographs is upon us with Spring winding down toward summer. This next flower is very small, but my macro-lens brings out its beauty:
Some of our Peonies are blooming. I have 4 varieties and they bloom in stages. Here is one from my yooungest plant:
Here is one my my Petunias. It is such a delicate pink and seems to fit with the rest of the flowers this weekend:
I was taking photographs of a plant we call chicks-n-hens, which is a succulent. In my many photos Itook yesterday this one came to the surface and I was amazed:
This brings us to a close of the photographs this weekend. I hope everyone finds at least one flower to brighten their day. Even though the photographs are completed continue reading below about some important issues.
I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted. When I use a photo of my game camera I try to make note of it. It is usual of wildlife.

There is another user (https://steemit.com/@theunion) that is trying to help Spanish speaking peoples in the Americas. If I am understanding correctly they will also support users who's first language is other than Spanish. One of my followers does some of her posts in English and some in Spanish. In viewing their post there are users from many places that have their posts selected. A must view to find some great posts. ( https://steemit.com/@theunion)
Here is a quote from one of their recent post:

@theunion can also use our support so they can continue get expose for so many people.
I am continuing to add the above usernames/projects as beneficiaries. It may not be a lot but it all adds up. I have some on auto-upvote when they do a post.
NAMASTE
