We have had lots of rain and cloudy days but the other day when it was sunny I grabbed the big camera and took photos of the crocus. I love the colors and how they stand up straight and open up when the sun is overhead but close their petals when the sun goes down. They are a beautiful harbinger of spring.

Let’s hope we all have a weekend as beautiful as those crocus, hmmmm?

I got this white orchid about a year ago and I’m so happy that it has bloomed again. I can’t say I did much to make this happen, if anything it seems like this plant thrives on benign neglect. If only more things would!

Let’s not neglect anything this weekend – especially anything fun!

So many times when there are birds outside the window my camera is . . . somewhere else. Last Saturday, though, this little bluebird was sitting on the feeder by the kitchen window and my camera (with the long ass telephoto lens on it) was also right there. It was a spring time miracle, I can tell you that. And how cute is he?

We’re planning an adventure this weekend – hope you are, too!

Here’s a photo of those tulips again, this time a traditional shot instead of a watercolor. I truly love having fresh flowers in the house, especially when it’s extra cold and windy outside like it has been this week.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those who celebrate and Happy Weekend to al!

There is an abundance of crocus under the trees between my yard and my father-in-law’s. I took this photo of them yesterday and, if the weather forecast is accurate, today they are being buried under several inches of snow. Good thing I got out there, eh?

Get out there this weekend and have some fun!
