Happy Earth Day!
Today is Earth Day so I thought I'd post a photo of one of Mother Nature's lacy beauties. This plant's technical name is Sambucas Mexicana but it's sometimes called Elderberry or blue elderberry.
We have elderberry here, too. I've always wondered if it's the same kind. Could an elderberry from England really be the same as an elderberry in Arizona? (Or in Florida, for that matter, where they also grew.)
These are also here and we make a good syrup with them.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty shot Sharon, lovely light! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'll stick with elderberry! Very pretty. I knew there was a reason I was reading Sierra magazine today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shot for the occasion!
ReplyDeletePerfect for the day!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And what a lovely way to wish it!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and delicate!
ReplyDeleteI celebrated Earth Day by driving to work yet again. But Sunday is the big Earth Day festival in Forest Park. It's a photographer's banquet.

ReplyDeleteIt is lovely and beautifully photographed.
