I looked in my archives to see what caught my attention in the last few weeks.
Flowering Quince, March 28, 2013 |
One - I enjoy seeing the flowering trees and shrubs in the Spring.
Great Blue Heron, March 18, 2013 |
Two - I enjoy watching wildlife.
Spring onions, April 4, 2013 |
Three - I enjoy growing vegetables in containers.
Painted gourd Birdhouses, March 23, 2013 |
Four - I enjoy going to Arts and Crafts shows.
Field Pansy Wildflowers, March 23, 2013 |
Five - I enjoy taking macro photos of tiny wildflowers.
How these wildflowers managed to get their seeds up into this large container,
about ten times taller than they are, is a mystery to me!
(And I am so glad that I didn't empty these containers last Autumn
and stack them in the shed as I usually do).

I know what you mean about the wildflowers in your containers. I think my husband must kick the seeds into mine when he mows the grass.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
I absolutely love taking pictures of all the beautiful spring flowers! I think I'm going to go on a photo walk tomorrow to do just that!
ReplyDeleteArts & Crafts shows are the best! Even if I don't buy anything, I love getting to see all the creativeness and to enjoy being outside.
I've had years where I have struggled to start plants from seed, but had left an empty pot outside. Mother Nature did much better at starting seeds than I did :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful picture-how nice that you enjoy mother nature as you do! Appreciating nature just has such a way with making our lives brighter!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Random 5 Friday.

Love those fish gords - so cool!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! I enjoy watching wildlife, too. The photo of the blue heron is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures of the flowers. Spring is so slow this year that I am wishing I could get some flowers out in the yard, yours helped with that.
ReplyDeleteThe last photo is stunning.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and now I am going to have to grow gourds to make some of those great birdhouses!! Take care. Chel x
ReplyDeleteHey Lea!
ReplyDeleteI agree, observing nature and photographing it is spectacular. It's important to take a minute to appreciate the beauty around us.
The first picture is my favorite.
Gorgeous flowers Lea -- and I'm loving those birdhouses. I have a few gourds to transform and this gave me some great ideas.
