Nice post card, Robin -- here's another shot, this time of a hyacinth from my back yard. I know, it's soft and fuzzy, but handheld. It was hard to get down that low to the ground and stay steady. Guess I should have used the tripod :oops:

All the flowers are blooming and I saw my first bumblebee, hummingbird and butterfly of the season today. This is a shot of the butterfly on an azalea.

Mike,

I thought it was always Springtime in Hawaii. :) Those are some fantastic colors. I can't recall ever seeing flowers like your second and third shots, but they're beautiful. I hope you weren't the target of that incoming bee.

Robin,

I like the way you included the shadow of the fence in your second pic. It works nicely with the walkway and the line of flowering trees to draw you in.

Thought I would add a couple...We had some decent weather last week and then a cold front came through last night...Still not a lot of buds on the tree's, but at least some of the flowers are giving me hope...

Thanks!

Hi, Tom -- Not sure, but i think this is a trillium.

Beautiful pictures here, everyone. Wish I wasn't so dang busy; I'd be here more often. Guess life just happens :shock:

Thanks Allie - I think you are right...And, I think we all understand 'busy'...That is a very bad four letter word!

Okay, it is still kinda spring here, so I thought I would add one more flower picture. Again, do not know what kind, but still a pretty and colorful flower.
