Color Me Red

red tulipsI took these photos a week or so ago before one of the big hail storms came through and stripped them bare.

I go out into the backyard every spring, just in awe of their beauty and snap their photographs, just as if I’ve never ever seen their brilliance before.

SuperGuy did put out some more bulbs last fall though. Very pretty this spring. You know, until the hail storms.

I wonder how many hours of my life I have spent taking photographs of flowers and processing them in photoshop…

The Annual Spring Question

by Kay~Kacey on 3/31/2011

Will the lilac bush bloom or not this spring? 2010 lilac waiting game.  2009 lilac blooming wait. Well, I’m patiently waiting again.

I’m not thinking the snow we had last weekend helped things much…

What do you think? Will it bloom this year? Finally?

I Spy

and I’m not joking this time! I looked out the window and saw this…

First signs of spring-daffodils

What is that I spied?? I should take a closer look…

Daffodils popping up out of the ground

The first signs of spring! My daffodils are popping out of the ground! See what a week of warmer weather can do? (A bit worried about the cold snap we’re supposed to get this week though…)

feeding the birds

While I was doing the important chores…you know…taking photos…SuperGuy was out feeding the birds. Got to keep my birds happy and at the feeder!

first signs of spring

Meanwhile I wandered around the yard, looking for all the places that SuperGuy put more bulbs in last fall. I think it’s going to be a beautiful spring in my backyard!
