Not all renewal means flowers

I tend to think of plants renewing or burgeoning by having flowers. But that’s not always true, as in this case.

Burgeoning pomegranates

I guess you could also say this tree is renewing its pomegranate supply. 😉. Either way, it’s my square for the day, spotted on a recent walk. I don’t know whether these are ornamental or good for eating, but I know they’re good for this challenge.

Bougie burgeoning bougainvillea

When our California daughter said something was”bougie,” I thought, “bougie?” Let’s just say she did not mean “a slender, flexible instrument introduced into passages of the body for dilating, examining, medicating, etc..”. The new use is a riff on bourgeois: “informal + usually disparaging : marked by a concern for wealth, possessions, and respectability,”

Can a bougainvillea be bougie? That’s up to you. But the two words work beautifully together so I say yes. And this bougainvillea is definitely burgeoning, giving me three b’s for Becky B today. 😉

Wordless Wednesday…family outing

#SquareRenew…move forward, renew

Move forward…family

I loved this mural for the challenge, but hadn’t taken the photo at a distance enabling me to convert it to a square, rather than a horizontal rectangle, without cutting out some of the quail. Enter my friend, image compare. Two squares and you get the entire family moving forward. Voilà!

Move forward…turkeys

Earlier this year during a trip up Mt. Lemmon, we stopped for a flock of wild turkeys crossing the road, steadily moving forward. I guess they knew it wasn’t Thanksgiving.
