Two-for-One: Ecological Day & Ruby Tuesday

February 1, 2010 | Filed Under Begonias, Ecological Day, Flowers, Nature in NYC, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Ruby Tuesday 

Today happens to be ECOLOGICAL DAY, which falls on the second day of every month.  Sonia of LEAVES OF GRASS created this photo blogging theme day.

 

It also happens to be RUBY TUESDAY, the day to post a photo featuring the color red.  Mary the Teach of WORK OF THE POET created this theme day.

 

I happen to have a photo to fit both photo themes, so here is a two-fer-one post — red flowers for Ruby Tuesday and a nature’s beautiful flowers for Ecological Day.   ;-)    I took this photo during the last days of Autumn in early December.   Each day, the weather continued to get colder but it was nice to see the flowers still in bloom.   Today they no longer exist.  It will be nice when Nature acts accordingly and the flowers bloom again during Spring time.

 

We have only one Earth, folks.  So, let’s take good care of it.  ;-)

    Love begonias. You have a nice way of taking a simple flower and making it splendid. Happy Ecological Day! (and groundhog day, too)

    Seems you’ve had quite the winter in New York how nice to see this spot of color. Very cheerful. I like that cementish planter also…
    Have a great week!

    The flower planter is like the winter sky – gary. The colorful flowers, especially the ruby presence wake us up from the cold and we feel much better. This is like a fireworks display that heightens our interest, a beautiful look at the dwindling days of autumn…

    And don’t forget it was also Groundhog Day yesterday ;-)

    These vivid red begonias contrast nicely against the gray planter.

    Happy belated Ruby Tuesday, Paz!

    Your begonias aren’t still blooming, are they Paz? Maybe you have them inside, but still they are beautiful! :)
