Anything closed can be opened and anything open can be filled, be it the last space in a picture puzzle, an open basket, a piece of hollow bamboo. and open basket or a drainpipe. Flowers open, a dog’s ears perk up, open and listen, mouths open, wings open, and we in turn fill our eyes with all of these openings.

I took these shots in my sister’s neighbor’s garden in Peoria, Arizona. Unfortunately, these blooms only last for one or two days. The ones in their white stage were a day beyond their prime.
This one I took just before leaving home 2 weeks ago. One week to go before I can check it out again.
For Cee’s FOTD
When we first saw this gorgeous prickly pear, the flowers were fully spread like camelias, but by the time we got back several hours later and I photographed them, they had folded into roses. Just gorgeous. Be sure to click on photos to enlarge.

I love this bush in the yard of Tricia and Paul’s house across the street from my sister’s house in Arizona. Thanks to Janet Waters for identifying it for me. I had no idea that there was a bush variety of morning glory. Thanks, Janet.
