Mexican Sage

This Mexican Sage bush was at a local church. It is not supposed to be hardy in this area, but this one has survived a winter. The purple blooms are so vibrant and two bright yellow butterflies were enjoying the bush.

Foggy Morning

These photos were taken on a recent trip to see my family. It was hard driving but made for some pretty photos. I especially like the "foggy sunrise" photo.
