For anyone that wants to play along, my only suggestions (suggestions, not rules!) are: The color is the dominate focus in the image as opposed to a small spot in a lot of other colors. Drop a comment so I can follow along on your color journey. That's it! I hope you play along and… Continue reading Color Series: Orange Day 2

Rose Visitor
It is quite possible I will only have a few more shots of flowers to share (ones I've already taken) until next spring. We are supposed to get a decent freeze and even snow or ice, so the few flowers left blooming are probably going to be done for the year. It really is early… Continue reading Rose Visitor
Nature’s Flower Arrangement
The cranky pants might make it back out today. This is always a possibility anyway when it is cold and dreary like it is today, but even more so because I STILL haven't heard back on the last contractor bid, even though I sent a follow up email a couple of days ago to try… Continue reading Nature’s Flower Arrangement

Rosy Day
Just Another Daisy
Trying to bring a little sun into another dreary day. I definitely need to try and find some more flowers for the yard that are blooming this time of year.

Waiting To Bloom
Lone Tulip
I wanted to try and get a photo of my one tulip that has managed to miraculously exist in my flower bed after having not bloomed for years until last year. Sadly, I think the weather took it's toll. It was open yesterday, but the photos I got didn't turn out very good. Today, it… Continue reading Lone Tulip
Surprise Hyacinth
I had a different hyacinth bloom this year. It is a surprise because I didn't plant any new ones where this one popped up. I don't ever remember having one that looked like this which makes it even more odd. Either hyacinths react to the chemical make up in the ground and mine did something… Continue reading Surprise Hyacinth
Surviving
I was a little bit shocked to see that not only are my new daffodils fine and blooming after the freeze, but several of the ones that had already been in bloom made it through. Looks like most of my flowers didn't take too big of a hit even though we stayed below freezing for… Continue reading Surviving
Frozen Tulip
Frozen Spring
We got ice yesterday. Enough to coat everything for most of the day. Sadly, that means many of my spring flowers are going to be done. The hyacinths were already almost there, but the daffodils were still going strong and one was yet to open. We froze bad enough, I have no clue if that… Continue reading Frozen Spring
Newest Daffodil
This is one of the latest daffodil's to bloom. It is more of a cream on cream and does not have that typical cup center. I love how frilly the petals are on this! I have one more that is in heavy bud stage that has yet to bloom, but I'm thinking it is still… Continue reading Newest Daffodil
So Many Changes
Today is our first day of a completely new normal. Over the weekend, our mayor put our city on a shelter-in-place order, so all non-essential business are shut down. We were already pretty much treating it like that, so it won't be a massive change for us, though I've heard/seen a lot of people complaining… Continue reading So Many Changes
Line of Raindrops
Purple Striped Crocus Bud
I didn't post yesterday because I was doing my best impression of being a zombie. In an attempt to try and reset my sleep schedule to something that even remotely resembles normal, I got the wild hair to just stay awake the previous night and all day yesterday. I cannot remember the last time I… Continue reading Purple Striped Crocus Bud
And… More Crocus
I'm really hoping to have some different flower photos for you soon, but I'm only seeing some tiny buds that still have a ways to go before there are flowers. I think the next ones I'll get will be my other batch of crocus blooming or the hyacinths will flower out. Not sure which one… Continue reading And… More Crocus
Feeling Springy
We have an absolutely gorgeous day here today. It would be amazing if this was an indication that we were past all the cold and nasty and headed into warmer weather, but anything goes around here this time of year. Sadly, I don't think I'll have much time to actually enjoy it much as I've… Continue reading Feeling Springy
