I’d like to wallpaper the world with daffodils.

Ahhh…pink!
One early and welcome sight here in spring is flowering trees in the landscape. After a long winter, I personally declare them a public service.
There are a couple of streets planted with rows of flowering plum trees that are a quiet festival of pink right now.
It was sunny yesterday and Fifth Avenue was a gorgeous place to walk.
Please wait…
I’m glad I got this shot of our early crocus the other day. There was the slightest hint of sunshine and they opened nicely. If there’s been sun since then I haven’t noticed it. Nor have these flowers which seem to be staying closed as if to say, “Oops. Sorry. Not yet.”
Fighting the odds
I can’t take credit for the sweet peas growing in my garden. A few hearty plants are blossoming despite our wet September.
Dahlias
We’re headed to the end of our growing season. My garden went in late and now shows the pathetic signs of inattention on my part.
These are someone else’s dahlias. Sometimes I think those are the best gardens of all: someone else’s.
Gone so soon
We had beautiful poppies this year. They’re gone now. So are the songbirds. That was fast.
Water lilies
Water lilies are in bloom.
I saw them in splendor several places in Victoria last month.
