Would like to learn to shoot a bow! The thrill of hitting your mark dead on and seeing how close you can get the grouping. Then the moment of truth. Do or Die? The HUNT!!! I can't wait, I want to feel all of the emotions!...
...I also very much enjoy sports, thanks to my Dad!

One of my better new photos I've taken! And that beautiful flower grew from one of those cheap packs of wildflower seeds that my wife planted at one back corner of our house!
I just took this picture Sunday evening! I think it is one of my best yet!
Thank you for the add.
The flower for the month of May is the lily of the valley. Here is the story and language of this flower.
Linguistic Roots for the Name Lily of the Valley
The lily of the valley heralds from northern Europe. As a result, it did not originally have a Latin or Greek name. The monks who named it had knowledge of botany and so chose a Latin name for it that had religious connotations. They named it lilium convallium (now convallaria majalis), lily of the valley. The naming of the plant referred not only to the flower having a tendency to grow in valleys but also to the Song of Solomon where we read the phrase, I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.
The official Latin name convallaria majalis means valley (convallaria) and the month of May (majalis), which probably refers to where and when it blooms.
History of the Flower
One of the colloquial names for the lily of the valley is Our Ladys Tears because legend claims that the flower sprung up from the Virgin Marys tears, which she shed at the foot of the cross. As a result, the flower became associated with Mary.
In ancient times, boys and girls would pick bouquets of lily of the valley because it was supposed to bring good fortune in love. Because of the timing of the plants blossom, it was often referred to as May Lily or May Bells.
