There is a nice patch of anemones in the front of the house - time to enjoy them wide angle style.

One more color

New irises blooming in peach. There are still some new colors I'd like to add.

The big guy

2 Years + Photo 227 - May 28

When the blue jay hits the feeder, you definitely know he's there. The whole thing looks like it's going over.

Looking inside

2 Years + Photo 223 - May 24

I love taking pictures of the insides of flowers. It makes me appreciate them inside and out.

Almost planting time!

2 Years + Photo 222 - May 23

I didn't have the luck I wanted with my pole beans last year so I decided to give it another try. I'd love to make some dilly beans, if the dill and the beans can just coordinate.

Thank you

2 Years + Photo 221 - May 22

These were a lovely thank you from Dale for all of the time I've given up so he can work on getting the boat in the water. What I really wanted to try to do was duplicate the darkness and richness of them.

Droopy

2 Years + Photo 220 - May 21

The anemones remind me of sunflowers - looking for the sun. The anemones just seem to be kind of droopy in the process.

Originals

2 Years + Photo 219 - May 20

These bulbs are actually descended from originals that bloomed after we moved into our house in 1991. Nice to see them blooming 20+ years later.

And the ants are busy at work - the peonies will only open with the ants there to help them.

Yup - more flowers

2 Years + Photo 226 - May 17

I've probably duplicated my flowers from year to year, but I still don't get tired of them.

Yay! Disney Princesses!

2 Years + Photo 225 - May 16

Every little girl needs a Disney Princess bag! After getting one for Evie for her birthday, Josephine declared that she needed one too. So I now have one waiting for her and for Edyn.

Concert time

It's the spring concert at Ozaukee. There's Little Miss Retro Renee rocking her solo with the women's choir, and Rebecca doing her thing with the percussion section. Nice concert, girls!

Time to shoot the boys!

2 Years + Photo 221 - May 12

Taking pictures of these guys is definitely a challenge, but there are always a couple shots that really show their personalities.

Anchors aweigh!

2 Years + Photo 220 - May 11

Smooth sailing to Captain Dennis and DJ's Fish Tales Charter Service! We are really happy for you guys!

Bunches of blooms

2 Years + Photo 219 - May 10

These little tulips always put out lots of blooms. The only problem is that they seem to find ways of popping up just about everywhere.

Gonna make a break for it

2 Years + Photo 218 - May 9

He knows there is a bird feeder at the top of that pole, and he's just waiting to climb up and raid it.

The miniature version

2 Years + Photo 217 - May 8

I love these daffodils - they are only about 6 inches tall.

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

Almost open...

2 Years + Photo 216 - May 7

These grape hyacinths aren't totally open, but they're getting awfully close.

Tulips!

2 Years + Photo 215 - May 6

It's nice to see that the flowers keep blooming - despite the cool temperatures.

Monday, May 5, 2014

Thanks Mom!

2 Years + Photo 214 - May 5

This pinwheel is quite the spinner. Mom was afraid it wouldn't do well close to the house, but it spins quite nicely here.

Hanging out

2 Years + Photo 211 - May 2

Just a girl and her bone...watching TV...waiting for something interesting to bark at.

Their smell precedes them

2 Years + Photo 210 - May 1

You definitely smell the hyacinths before you see them...or at least simultaneously.
