ABC Wednesday: W is for White

We didn't get any of the white winter snow that other parts of the U.S. got last week, so I went back to February of 2012 to a confused camellia that bloomed too early and was dumped on.

ABC Wednesday: W is for Weigela

I planted a Weigela florida bush around 1990 and it did well for about 20 years.

Unfortunately my Weigela was wounded and died several years ago.

The only trace I have now of my wonderful Weigela is old photographs I took.

Weigela is a deciduous shrub and use to have some of my earliest spring flowers.

The new leaves are a wine color.

The leaves get more green in them as they mature.

ABC Wednesday: W is for Wren and X for X-mas

When a Carolina Wren landed on my neighbor's X-mas wreath I decided to cheat and do one post for ABC Wednesday's W and X days. W is the theme this week and next week is X right in time for X-mas. I hope everyone has a happy holiday.

ABC Wednesday: W is for white water

The gushing fountain has white water and there are also white buildings and white clouds.

White caps are the ocean's white water and the gull is partially white too.

The white water in the ocean has salt which I guess is white.

When the salty white water gets into the whites of my eyeballs I try not to whine.

ABC Wednesday: W is for Wood

Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky in the NCMA Art Park has a wood ceiling.

It also has a wooden door.

There is a good selection of art made out of wood in the North Carolina Museum of Art.

One last sculpture which is in part made of wood.

ABC Wednesday: W is for Whimsical Weathervanes

The folk art museum in Colonial Williamsburg, VA has wonderfully whimsical weathervanes.

Some of the weathervanes include wire that will whirl with the wind.

I wouldn't mind the weathervane with the horse and cart that includes wheels.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the fish weathervanes at a coastal house. The workmanship is amazing to me and I think some may be made of wrought iron.

Well, I think that's all the W's I can work into this post. Click for the home of ABC Wednesday.

ABC Wednesday: W is for white winter

I don't think we'll have a white Christmas but we have had some white winter days this month.

Wishing all of you a happy Christmas and New Year ahead.
