Gaillardia.

In bloom.

Many of the plants in our garden are in bloom now. Here, the spirea.

On their level

In order to make close acquaintance with these Dutchmen’s Breeches, I had to get down to their level.

Words fail.

Mere words fail to describe how lovely these crocuses are.

Glorious

It has been a glorious early spring day. Full sun, not a cloud in the sky, Bella Luna rising in the afternoon.

A good day to be alive.

Before.

The sun is muted by far-off clouds before it bursts into the wide and otherwise cloudless sky.

Late.

I as a little late in the day to capture these crocuses in full bloom.

Bursts

The sun bursts above the horizon on a mild February morning. A lovely way to start the day!
