Birthday Butterflies & Zinnias

I love taking pictures, especially of plants, flowers and animals in our garden or up at the farm. To celebrate my birthday week I took these:








Questions for You:
- How do you celebrate your birthday? This afternoon my oldest son is doing a local youth triathlon. Then over the weekend most of my family is doing the adult tri, followed by lots of screaming and cheering along the Ironman Wisconsin course on Sunday.
- What flowers are in your garden?

Great pictures! This year I am racing my first off-road duathlon 2 days after my birthday. I would like to make this race an annual event! Last year, Melanie McQuaid was the women's winner (it's the weekend before Xterra). I wonder who will be there this year?

We have tons of tropical flowers in our garden - ginger, heliconia, bird of paradise, etc.

Your pictures are AMAZING. If you get tired of writing and coaching, become a photographer!

I celebrated my birthday by doing a triathlon (big surprise) and by going to the high school football game. The pep band played Happy Birthday for me while I worked in the concession stand at half-time.

Happy Birthday, birthday twin!
