Hay Creek Bluets (Houstonia caerulea)

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 23 June 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I found this lovely patch of bluets growing on the breastworks of the Birdsboro Reservoir in the Hay Creek Watershed.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
