Flowers in July

Colorado Winter is hardly cold. Some days are but mostly the weather is mild. And we also have a lot of really warm days. But... from time to time... the cold storm comes and the gloomy chilly days make us stay inside and not leave the house as long as we can. And the best way to warm up during this period is a cup of hot tea (or coffee if you prefer) and memories... Memories of a hot day in July when the hot air is wrapping you up and bright flowers please your eyes... and... yes, this is a Prickly Lettuce, the flower you can see in details here - One flower show...

 

Not only flowers are nice looking, but insects too ;) Like this adorable Ladybug...

And... to help your memory bring up a perfect Summer day let's look at some more pictures...

Prickly Lettuce early morning looks like that.

Another prickly flower - Prickly Poppy. I love this one!

Prickly Lettuce before opening the flower buds.

Yep. You are right. Three acorns are growing on this oak branch.
