Violets blooming in Alpine

Actually the violets have been blooming here for a month or so. I don't know what species of violet they are. My husband said he dug them up in his father's yard in El Paso about 35 years ago. His father had them for countless years before that. They do good here in Alpine. Even come up in the lawn.

Tomorrow I'm going to go set up my scanner at CMO. My son spent hours getting it to work. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but maybe I didn't download an updated version of the software, driver, whatever. If I get lucky I'll find, catch, and scan a dragonfly. My only concern is that the scanner might be too slow.
