I’m back to substituting in the schools in my city, so here is a quick post.


Here’s some pretty flowers growing on The Heard Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas, USA.
I snapped this photo about a week ago.


Have a Blessed Day!

Thank you for taking the time to share your images with us, @violetmed! These wildflowers stand out for their colour and abundance. They're beautiful. Have a happy afternoon!

Wow the sunset must be up when you took this picture, no? It's so dazzling and radiant though, the purple colour is totally astounding

Es cierto!! Se va agosto, @violetmed. Seguro tendrás otras cosas que hacer. Espero que no olvides a tus lectores y siempre nos traigas tus fotos. Saludos!

Although small, these flowers are very pretty, @violetmed. This image stands out for its color and abundance. Thank you for sharing, beautiful lady.

@violetmed friend I wish you the best in the schools of your beautiful city. What a landscape of beautiful and picturesque flowers of bright purple colors. I love the bouquets you have. One flower next to the other well together looks super beautiful. It's fascinating. Your photos are the best friend of nature's lover. Happy afternoon.🌼💜💝💕💖🌹💞

I wish you luck at work, @viletmed! These images are beautiful. I hope you're not still delighting in your images. A hug

Cool, purple flowers).

Lovely purple flowers. The lighting on the second one makes the colors very rich :) School is back. My boys both leave this weekend to return to college.

Well @steven-patrick, that means you are either very happy or very sad or perhaps somewhere in between! My 2 are now 24 and 27, so I kind miss the days when we had 2 kids at home!

Thats a few years older than my boys. They were both home this summer. I'm afraid it will be one of the last.

Hermosura de la creación de Dios.
Como no protegerla

howdy there violetmed! the photos are beautiful as always but what kind of substituting do you do and is that in Dallas? sounds scary.

I sub in a suburb north of Dallas where I live. I live in Allen, so haha most of the time it's not scary. I usually only sub grades Kinder through 6th grade. It only gets scary if you have 6th graders who think they don't have to listen to the substitute teacher and/or kids in any other grade whose parents didn't teach them to respect adults or be kind to their peers! I experienced all of this last year and it made me sad! Why do I sub, because deep down I'm a teacher and have always enjoyed seeing children learn new things! In my first life after college, I was a computer programmer in the Geophysical Business - finding oil! I have a math degree with computer science. I took a break to be a stay at home mom and didn't return to the computer world. So now I substitute and tutor a few kids after school in math and/or reading.

oh my gosh violetmed! well I hate to tell you this but I think you're overqualified to be on this platform! lol. that is so fascinating...no regrets I bet huh? to raise the kids is the most important job in the world.
do you know anything about how they go about finding oil? Mrs. J was wondering if we had oil under us and I told her it would probably cost a fortune to have an essayer or whatever they're called, to check out the property. lol.

Well that is wonderful that you can go and do teaching like that because obviously that is part of your calling.

Well, I'm sure you would already see some oil derricks pumping away on your neighbor's properties if there was oil around there. What city in Texas did you tell me you and the wife live near? As you know, West Texas has most of the oil in Texas! As for being a stay at home mom, I never regretted it! I felt blessed that I was able to do it, since my husband had a good job!

howdy this beautiful Sunday violetmed! yes Ma'am when people joke about the "black gold" in Texas I tell them that I'v never seen any wells in North Texas but the West is mostly wells from what I've read.

We are about 7 miles East of Caddo Mills, 9 miles South of Greenville.
Does your husband still work?

He is retired for the moment, but might get a part time job. Haha, I told him he is too young to retire - not yet 65 and health insurance is too expensive if you aren't on Medicare!

absolutely! get him on steemit, he would grow to love it! what does he think of steemit?

He thinks its interesting. My son and I have already set up an account for him, but he hasn't starting posting...maybe later this fall.

Definitivamente, hermosas, @violetmed.

Gracias!

@violetmed thank for amazing flowers .
Looking awesome purple colour .
I love this pick .

espero continue entre nosotros alegrandonos con esas lindas flores,saludos

What is that?? So gorgeous! Now I want it on my balcony :)

I need to ask a master gardening friend to identify it! I'll try to let you know when I find out!

Okay cool! Thanks :D

Good luck with the kiddos! What age range do you normally sub for?

Kindergarten through 6th grade, but I prefer Kinder - 4th grade!

They are fun for sure! Though I don't always enjoy sharing my living space with them, as I have for the past 3 years. They are the best to invest light and love in, though.

They look beautiful!
