More Flowers as they Bloom

More flowers in my backyard practically as they bloom. An all purple Columbine (Aquilegia), Allium, Butter Cream Lantana and a purple/white Lupine.

Birding on the Fly

Some people may think this is a sign of a more deeply rooted problem. Too much time on my hands? Boredom? I don't know. I happen to enjoy hanging out on the deck trying to catch pictures of the Goldfinches landing on the thistle feeder. But, that's just me.

Tulip

This is from a couple of weeks ago. It seems the tulips came and went really quick. Lots of pollen on this one.

May Flowers

Dwarf Irises, Allium, Gerbera Daisies and Bearded Dianthus. All thanks to the April showers. I guess.
