You can either take 5 random pictures or follow this months theme, which is: NEW
I've decided to take pictures of all the
NEW flowers which are suddenly appearing in my yard. It has been a very cold spring here (temperatures near freezing on some nights) but today is very sunny. I was tempted to get off my sickbed couch and take a careful stroll around the yard.

Really great pics, Buddy :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the Bleeding Hearts.
Sweet! The bleeding hearts are cool!
ReplyDeleteWow, they are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have bleeding hearts in my garden, but I have never tried eating them. I have had black currant wine. and my dwarf iris have come and gone.

I used to grow bleeding hearts; it was a sure sign of spring to see them.

I hope it was as good for you to get off that couch and enjoy the new growth live, as it was for me to view your pics.
ReplyDeleteBlack currants, yum!
Very nice pics! Fresh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great comments, everyone! Yes, it was nice to walk around the yard.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like best about Stephen Chapman's Five on Five project is that it connects a wide diversity of bloggers from all over the world. Why don't you all try it next month? It's not hard to take five pictures!

PS thank you for visiting my site.
We just planted a pear last year and are looking forward to the years when it can produce fruit. I really like the photo of the dwarf Irises and the Ladies mantle and Oriental poppies. Exceptional color and texture!
ReplyDeleteThanks for promoting my blog. Love the pics - our garden is full of colour now as well.
ReplyDeleteLove this time of year
