It is an annual occurrence for us. The anniversary and the anniversary visit to the place we visited on our honeymoon.
It is easy to do because it is only a 25 mile drive to Hamilton Pool, the sunken river bed and grotto. The day today was just as beautiful as it was 45 years ago, when a friend lent us his red triumph Spitfire for the day and we took our first drive into the Texas Hill country.
Did I notice the Agarita, Mahonia trifoliata, in bloom?
Or the Mexican buckeye, Ungnania speciosa, about to burst into flower.
Surely I saw the the windflower, always the first bloom of the season.
Or was it that I only had eyes for one.
Happy Anniversary! Hamilton pool looks beautiful. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary this weekend as well:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Steph. happy anniversary to you and your husband too.
DeleteWhat a wonderful tradition, happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your good wishes. It was a lovely day just as our wedding day.
DeleteHappy anniversary!!! You know, I have never been there! I have always wanted to go. Beautiful day for it. I have noticed the Agarita in bloom at the nursery as well- I photographed it Saturday but have not posted it.
ReplyDeleteOh Catherine you need to get out there and at the same time go to Westcave Preserve. I know it is hard for you to take time off from the nursery. On your anniversary maybe.
DeleteWhat a unique and lovely place to celebrate a special day. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn. It is a very special place for us.
DeleteQuelle belle lune de miel.

DeleteOh, what a beautiful tribute to an anniversary! I bet the plants just bloomed for you two in your love that is always in bloom.
ReplyDeleteLinda- Thanks so much for your kind words. Those poor plants are having a tough time this year with no rain but they are still putting on a show.
DeleteHave you really been going back for 45 years? That's terribly romantic! Happy anniversary, you two lovebirds.
ReplyDeleteI'm gone to convey my little brother, that he should also visit this web site on regular basis to take updated from newest gossip.
