A trillium with character

This weeks theme is Share ANY Photo

Doesn’t it look like this trillium’s trying to get out of the way of the camera lense or like it’s doing it’s best imitation of “Walk like an Egyptian”?

I took this photo on May 1st and the trillium still looks about the same. It will probably bloom sometime next week.

The tulips are still going strong! There’s even more now than there was when I took this photo a week ago:

I hope that your garden is looking lovely this weekend.

Busy Bees

This weeks theme is I Spy

IMG_1759

I spy with my camera eye at least two busy bees collecting pollen from the New York Asters. Heck, there might even be a third one in the last full flower in the right hand corner. There’s a blur there that certainly looks like a happy bumble bee. You can click on the photo to see a larger image on my Flickr page.

I won’t be seeing my lovely New York Aster blooms again until autumn, but I sure hope that I’ll start to see some spring flowers soon. It’s finally warming up a bit here and the snows beginning to melt. The temperatures have been above freezing for the last two days and are expected to be above freezing (sometimes with rain) over the next four or so days, so with luck there’s a good chance that much of the snow that ruined my back last weekend will soon disappear.

Wish us snow bound northerners luck?

Want to grow luscious delicious vegetables and beautiful flowers this year? Start composting and use the compost you create on your garden!

Berry Delicious?

This weeks theme is delicious

berries on vine covered in snow

It snowed earlier in the week and when I looked outside I couldn’t resist stepping out into the garden with my camera in tow.

I got a lot of lovely photos of snow covered plants that I’ll be posting over the next while.

One such picture is this photo of some berries that froze on the vine. They are covered in snow and I hope that at some point the birds discover the berries and find them to be delicious. Of course the holly still has berries on it too that the birds can eat if they choose to.

Is your garden covered in snow as well? Have you stepped outside to take some photos? Frozen plants can be quite beautiful. Give it a try.
