Spring Awakening...
So after a week of teasing us (felt more like a month!) with her tightly closed buds, this little beauty finally announced "I'm here!" All is forgiven as I happily greet her!

Wow! Lynn, the hellebore is beautiful. Bring on the macro shots, I'm game :). I only wish I had an SLR and good lens to go with it- someday :)
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! I am so happy to see color! hugs...Brooke
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, I am envious here of your beautiful blooms! They are so wonderful. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful, Lynn. I am glad the macro sparked your creativity! The primrose shot is a miracle, those are some of my favorite flowers, as are the violas. Your hellebore is a beauty too, all is forgiven, I love it! :-)

So pretty. I love the macro shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tessa, the camera is a cute little pink Olympus Stylus, very compact and everything is built in. I hope you get the lens you'd like..maybe some hints for an upcoming birthday:)
ReplyDeleteHi Brooke, welcome home! Thanks for visiting..I love your post on the beautiful larkspurs.
Hi Stephanie. Well I'm envious of the plants you can grow year round that I can't...that's why garden blogging is so great! Have a wonderful weekend!
Frances, primroses are cheerful aren't they. I would love to get the variety that blooms on taller stems and the leaves are more rounded. I laid on my tummy to get that shot and I know YOU can appreciate that..lol.
Thank you, Lona. The macro shots are
fun BUT your hands have to be extra steady so I end up with one good out of 10...lots of practice AND patience.
Well worth the wait Lynn, she's a beauty! Spring has arrived in your garden! :)
ReplyDelete'Spring Awakening' is one of my favourite phrases! Your photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love the first flowers of spring. Makes me want to say "Yippee!"
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful blog! LOve the first blooms of the season. We are just getting our own here in Ohio.
ReplyDeleteHappy SPring
Oh, you have a beautiful garden. Aren't you sooooooo excited about spring being here! I have s fever, it can't be spring fever, but I don't know what other kind it is!
ReplyDeleteLynn, thanks for you kind and flattering words, you are very kind. Well I have always loved to garden ever since I was young. You can check out my story on how I began my gardening love affair here...

No, I am not going into Botany. Unfortunately there is not a need in this field and I do want to be able to support a family some day. So botany is out of the question for now.
Oh wow, we still have nothing but old snow and mud and a few snow crocus. I can't wait for flowers. Your garden looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteOh my, that photo of the viola almost stopped my heart! Just stunning!
