Sunflowers
Mount Vernon, Virginia
Harvest time is close with these Sunflowers full of sunflower seeds. I love the color and look of sunflowers! Did you know that Sunflowers follow the sun? Their petals are designed to absorb as much sun as possible and they swivel to reach the best sunlight. In Italy they are called Girasole which literally means turn the sun, meaning they turn and follow the sun. FUN!!
Bumble Bee & Flowers
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
While visiting the Benjamin Franklin Museum, we went outside where they have a structure that shows where Benjamin’s house once stood. There in the area that would have been the courtyard are some beautiful flowers. As I was taking photos of them, a Bumble Bee came by and enjoyed the different and very colorful flowers.

Beautiful Flowers
Yellow Hibiscus
Bird Of Paradise
Honolulu, Hawaii
We went for a ride up to the Punchbowl or the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. It is so peaceful there, reverence to all those who gave their lives for our freedom!
There I saw these flowers, Bird of Paradise, which were one of my mom’s favorite flowers. They are so unique and their colors are gorgeous!

Bridge to the Peninsula
Niederkassel, Germany
Here is the walking bridge that takes you over to the peninsula where we walked thru the forest to the River Rhine. Though this water is apart of the Rhine, the big part of the river, that has river boats on it, is on the other side. We passed beautiful flowers, swans, other people & had a wonderful time walking thru the forest and along the Rhine!

The Home of Robert Schuman
Scy-Chazelles, France
The home of Robert Schuman is very modest and shows what a humble man he was! Thanks to Marlies & Helmut Werner for bringing us here! This photo was taken from his garden showing the back of his house with the steeple of the church he visited daily which is across the street from his home.

Robert Schuman’s Gardens
Scy-Chazelles, France
Robert Schuman was an amazing man, born in Luxembourg, he grew up to be called the ‘Father of Europe’. He spent most week-ends at his home and the last few years of his life there, during which time he attended church daily. His garden is beautiful and peaceful, so I took advantage and put my feet up and RELAXED. In this photo you can see his house thru the trees to the right and the church he attended to the left.

Gate to Robert Schuman’s Home
Scy-Chazelles, France
The garden’s at Robert Schuman’s house are beautiful as you will see by other photos that I will post. They are well manicured and kept up so well! This photo was taken from inside his yard, so this is what people would see as they left his home.
We were very happy that our friends, Marlies and Helmut Werner, took us out to learn about this humble and extraordinary man!
