Yay for spring!
Finally a flower that we share - bachelor's buttons! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteWe got much-needed rain today- hoorah! Hope your spring continues well!
Yay! I'm really liking the bachelor's buttons, but I have them in too much shade. I need to get them in more sun. Ah well!
DeleteI wish we'd get some rain!!
Oh my! I just love those bachelor's buttons. So pretty:)
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're quite precious!
DeleteGreat shots!!! Love the bird photos. Ok, TODAY I found out you came in- sorry I missed you!! Erin said she enjoyed talking to you. Sad I missed you! Hopefully if you stop in again I will be there and get to meet you!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Erin was very sweet! And I loved the selection of plants at the nursery!
DeleteWonderful pictures! And it's my first encounter with Centaurea cyan's. Thanks :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks! The bachelor's buttons are quite nice!
DeleteBeautiful images depicting spring. Believe it or not, it's snowing here today. Just when things were looking great out there...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it snowed! That's so crazy!
DeleteCute post with the talking grackle, I swear they make a mess on purpose, then sit up in the tree laughing at me. Your images are really beautiful today, the sun on the grackle and the macro of the cactus. I really like the butterfly photo especially. It looks like one to hang on the wall.
ReplyDeleteGrackles are gross. I'm pretty sure one took a dump all over me the other day. And oh god! IT STANK!!! Blech. Yuck. Awful.
DeleteThanks! I kinda like the butterfly shot, but the framing bothers me.
Ebay can be dangerous can't it? lol. I can't say I have had the same problem with cactus though. I tend to keep my distance from those. Yours are really pretty though when they bloom.

It just happened to be cactus, but I am eying a few other plants... No, no, no... I've banned myself.
DeleteThanks!
