Flowers Don't Lie

I took the first three pictures October last year. I was fascinated by the fact that when it was cold, the flowers along Old Northern Road would close. Then as the sun came out and the temperature rose, the flowers would open up.

Fascinating!

I hadn't manage to post the pictures on the blog so I planned another batch of "close-open" photos when I was walking along the road.

I took this photo a couple of days ago. See how the flowers are all 'hiding.' I knew that with spring moving into its second month, I was bound to catch these flowers in full bloom sooner or later.

Sure enough, when I took the two younger kids to Vinnie's (St. Vincent de Paul's) yesterday morning at about 11, the flowers were showing off.

So I asked the kids to pose with the flowers in bloom.

Later in the afternoon, GI and MyGirl joined me to the mall. Since I had already taken a photo of his other siblings, I asked GI to pose with the flowers. He was happy to do so (perhaps because we picked something up for him while we were at the mall) and by this time (3:30pm), according to the flowers, it was cold.
