I don't know for sure what kind of flowers these are -- they look something like morning glories, but the leaves aren't like that. So all I know is they were blooming one morning along the dunes at Cape San Blas. I just took the picture.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 07/26/08. Saturday. Bella's good this morning; walk was fun/no squirrels, but we did a different block than usual. She likes variety. Breakfast -- meds soon, the post-walk routine. She slept better last night than the one before. Panting still, but it's hot. So, thank you God for another morning blessing today.
Bella and I are grateful for each of you, for caring and singing (love is all around...), and especially for praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.
What we have right now are day by day blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle, slowly unfolding.

Beautiful, delicate flowers... nice color against the sand. Lorraine is right, dogs pant to cool because they can't sweat.

How pretty this is, but I don't know what it is either.
Lethargy and panting is the name of the game as we humans sweat (as Lorraine wrote). Hugs & more prayers, Bella!

I looked up purple morning glories on the internet and that is exactly what these are. There are several varieties of morning glories, hence the different shapes of their leaves. Beautiful capture. hugs and prayers for Bella this morning.

@Marion: Thank you for researching this. The leaves are what had me baffled. And thanks for the hugs and prayers; Bella sends her love.
A beautiful composition. It would make an excellent design for a fine wallpaper.
