wild pink rose bush

Bright pink confuses the sensor something fierce, it makes photographing bright pink flowers kind of a chore. The definition seems to get lost in the pink. This seemed to have the most definition of all my pictures of the rose bush and afterward I decided I really did not like that bud in the way, and I had like it there when I was shooting.

Alium

I think, I was shooting in my Mom's neighbors back yard. They also have big bright salmon pink single peonies: the color wreaked havoc on the digital sensor!

always a bridesmaid...

It's probably a good thing my mother did not have a bridal veil bush when I was little, I'd have plucked it clean of its perfect little bridal bouquets. And Ken might have gotten tired of all the vow renewals he and Barbie would have had.

weeds are just wildflowers

once you get to know them.

In the yard

It's tulip time. They spring up in the strangest places in the yard. The pink ones are new, they have never come up before this year.

A day is worth 1000 pictures..

Orange tulips at my Mom's house. Blowing in the wind, hard to catch.

Nothing like a nursing baby, feline or otherwise.

Rigsby and Jack

Born Sunday night. Rigsby is a female calico

Jack, as in Jack O' Lantern, is a male orange tabby.

They are impossibly cute.

crane?

Standing in a puddle in the field. Took off when I stopped.

Surprises

The first year we lived in this house I was surprised in march when our side yard exploded in blue.

I look forward to them every year, they are one of the things that make this place home.

one way?

or no way?

Whitewater Rapids

In my pasture. Knee deep at their shallowest point and moving really fast. Gotta love early spring thaw.
