We don't usually go on a hike with a purpose in mind.
We just get out on the trails to enjoy nature and stretch our legs!
But sometimes we get home with our photos and see a theme.
We saw SO many wildflowers in bloom this week.
I decided to start an identification folder on my desktop to put ID flower pics.
Since I forget what they are from year to year, this might come in handy next year! lol
There are lots of yellows colors and lavenders at this time of year.
So what was GOLD?
Oh, that's my new Mac!
I changed the throw on the back of the sofa in the lanai too to declare Fall in Florida!
It's great and I love it. Thanks hubby for the surprise gift!
Have you seen any pretty colors in your neck of the woods this week?

I have Beautyberry and Goldenrod right here in my yard, and as we drive along country roads, there are a lot of wildflowers blooming, but no place to stop for photos!
Have a wonderful week!
Very pretty flowers from your hike. I especially like the blue curls. What a wonderful surprise gift from your hubby. Have a happy week.
...always go for the top prize.
It's wonderful that you and your hubby go on those nice hikes. I love all of the beautiful colors of the flowers. You are both getting great exercise too. Congrats on the new Mac and I love the color of it too. I hope you have a nice week Diane.
Wow! Your pics are incredible, Diane! The details you get are so um, detailed!😄 So much beauty in your neck of the woods at this time of year. 😍 Happy Monday!
The leaves here are changing. Daughter and I picked flowers for drying and using on wreaths - those were pretty colors. A gold Mac? What I crave is a new camera to take better photos. Yours are so lovely.
Happy Mac! Bravo to your husband!
Labeling the flowers is a great idea. A sketch pad can also be a help. The blue curly flower is fancy and cute.
Your new Mac is beautiful. I really like Blue Curl. Now that's a very descriptive name.
Congrats on the new mac. Yay! A new toy is always fun. I always enjoy your wonderful pictures. I hope your week is wonderful to you. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Such beautiful, beautiful wildflowers. What a lovely spray of beautyberries, too! Love them so much. Wow, your new computer. Verrrrrry expensive and powerful!
Hi Diane, Happy Monday! I love your pretty flowers. They are unusual and some I have never seen before. Thank you for sharing your hikes. Love, Aunt Helen
I've never seen Deer Tongue and Blue Curl flowers. They're beautiful. You are so lucky to have so many gorgeous flora. Enjoy your day, hugs, Edna B.

All your flowers are just absolutely gorgeous and so brilliant the colors are amazing and several of these I've never seen before the curly blue thing and the first one to the PC thing never seen those before. Congrats on your surprise gift
Wonderful, the colors that you discovered on your trip - I also love the combination of purple and yellow (or lavender and gold) very much!
A great surprise!
Hugs and a good new week

Yes the theme emerges when you're doing it right! I love these thanks for sharing
A lovely surprise gift for you :)
Lovely photographs on your post, the colours are wonderful.
Have a good week.
All the best Jan
I love seeing all the pretty fall flowers, and WOW! I love your new laptop. Your hubbie has earned a LOT of cuteness points for the surprise!
I've started doing the exact same thing with the flowers!! :)
Your photos are beautiful as always.
The leaves have started changing here on some trees - lots of green ones around yet though.
So many beautiful wild flowers. I'm seeing lots of goldenrod around here lately.
What a nice surprise your husband got you. I've never used a mac
Congrats on the new computer and the flowers are all gorgeous! xo
Creating a folder of wildflowers is something I need to do! Your collection is beautiful. What a nice surprise from your husband.
Diane - both Beautyberry and Blue Curls are new plants for me. Gor-geous!!!
Here, our color comes from Spiraea, Snowberry, Burning Bushes, and Aspens. A few Asters still hanging on, and of course, Goldenrod.
So happy for you that you have a new computer - so invigorating!
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Beautiful flowers - the Blue Curls are exquisite. And a new MAC - golden! Someone knows just what you want!
Pretty flowers! I want a new Mac.
I think that is the best way to hike, not have a purpose. So great to have found wildflowers now. The Blue Curls are my favourite. That is a beautiful throw. Enjoy your new machine!

Happy Fall to you - I love seeing your seasonal flowers many of which are new to me. We have butterfly pea here in Thailand it is very popular for drinks especially tea, is that the same for you?
Have a lovely week

Hello,
Lovely images, the Spurred Butterfly Pea and the Blue Curls are my favorites.
You had a lovely walk. I like your throw on the sofa and congrats on the new Mac. Have a happy day!
I hear you about forgetting names! I keep looking them up.
Happy Autumn. We do not have that season in our clime. Here its Rainy Season still.
Have a nice week
Much💜love
I've just learned a few new names of wildflowers. The spurred butteerfly pea is gorgeous!
Oh, I only know the Goldenrod, the other plants I have never seen before. They are beautiful. I love them all. Be happy, that there are some, they become less.
Happy MosaicMonday
Hello friend from the past - great to see you back - a few months ago I had a new Mac too, but I wasn't as wildly enthusiastic as you are, because I went from an Apple to Windows - so it took me a while to adjust! Don't know if you have my new url yet (one word) living between two realms (.) wordpress (.) com and my new username is Emille instead of Jesh (from All Seasons)
Today wifi must be slow, because I don't see your photos yet. Great visiting you! Emille Jesh)
Ah hre they are - your captures - beautiful blue curls and deer tongue, not to mention the grapes:) Come visit me sometime:) Emille (Jesh)
Wow, Lavender Dreamer, your new Mac is super cool. Congrats! Enjoyed all the photos of the flowers in this post. Nice work! Great idea to put an ID folder on your desktop for flower pics. I should try that too! Thanks for another fine post! John
Beautiful purple, nature is so vivid. A nice present your hubby gave it.
hi there my sweet friend! Love all these pretty WILDFLOWERS! Love that purple one that's first. I haven't seen any beautyberries yet this year, there used to be some in a park here, I will have to check but I don't think there were any last year. I think they are so pretty! Love the hike pictures, always fun and feels like I am right there with y'all! Hope you're having a nice week so far! Hugs! (PS---have you played with your dolls any lately?)
Wow! Love your stunning photos, Diane!
I enjoyed all the beauty in this very delightful post.
Indeed a lot to discover. Nice.
Hello there! Glad to see all is good in your neck of the woods! - My hikes with our new rescue dog have had a common theme lately - mushroom hunting, so many different colors - Your wildflowers are beautiful down there - we have some that are the same, but not all! I enjoyed learning the names.
Thanks for identifying all the wildflowers. I never know what they are. Your photos are gorgeous.
I love all the purple wildflowers, Diane. We are seeing a lot of yellow and some orange aspen trees and cottonwood tree leaves here. Congratulations on your new laptop! Enjoy!
I've enjoyed all your wildflower photos. We've not had rain in ages so pretty brown around here.

Love all of the lavender and yellow. So pretty. Congrats on your new computer. xo Laura
You saw a lot of purple flowers on the trail this time. The deer tongue is so unusual and pretty. I'm wondering why it's called that. How fun that you got
a new laptop. Your red checkered throw is cute. Red plaid or red checkered
always reminds me of Fall. : )
Have a peaceful weekend doing the things you love.

Yes, I was thinking of the bugs that might get inside the pinecones, so I may just spray paint some and keep them outside. That's a good idea to keep them
in your garage for awhile and let them air out. That was a journal on my post and also a picture. I love the artist' creations, and it seems that whenever
I see something in that line, I always bring it home. : )
What a wonderful gift!!! That should be a lot of fun to play with!! And it's GOLD! Wow! I love to see your wildflowers labelled, etc. I try to do that too, but this year I gave up trying. However, the one you call deer tongue I see over here and I never knew that is what it was, so thank you! I love those pretty flowers, don't you? I think God's flowers are the best...we call them wildflowers, but they are God's beautiful garden and we don't have to do a thing but enjoy them. I love the autumn golds and purples...so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your "golden" pictures with us!! Blessings!!
Esas flores silvestres son preciosas. Tienes un bonito regalo. Besos.
Blue Curls and Beauty Berries!!! I love those! :)
Such pretty flowers, I enjoyed seeing them!
