A bit out of place with all the exotic flora, these Indian Paintbrush were photographed by Mrs. Barbarian

I believe this is also by Mrs. Barbarian.

You made me feel like I was there! I could almost smell 'em. Oh the magnificence of our Creating God! What an Artist is He! Thank you, Barbarian, for these.
Thanks Al. I was in San Antonio this past week, and this Sunday I worshiped in an old mission church that was hundreds of years old. It is always refreshing to see how spiritually-oriented the people of San Antonio of all faiths are. Too bad I won't be there for Easter Sunday. An Easter mass there is triumphant and joyful, as it should be.
There was a spring break celebration going on downtown, and although though beer was on sale from street vendors, I saw no drunk or rowdy people. Even at night, it was a place you would be comfortable taking your children. It's a different place culturally, from a different time.
I hope it catches on.
Another by Mrs. Barbarian

Absolutely beautiful! I feel, as Al, as though I had just passed through this arboretum with you and Mrs. B.
Thank you for sharing.
Here are some more from Mrs. Barbarian:
