Tulips

Our tulips have finally blossomed.

Aren’t they pretty?

By the time tulips blossom we are in the good part of spring.  (For the most part.)

The cherry trees are in blossom.  It rained all day yesterday, so I wasn’t able to capture an image to share with you.  Perhaps later today . . .

Today’s forecast is for a better day.  I’m ready for that now.

These are not two ships passing in the night.

And this is not the acceptable way to pass.

Not even acceptable way to pass time.

Hooray! Hooray!

‘Twas the first of May.  Robin sat in the apple tree with his feathers fluffed against the chill air.

Hand-held shot with my Lumix zoomed into a 1200 mm closeup.  The anti-jitter algorithm in that camera is fantastic.

Robin’s breast looked much redder to the eye.  Sylvia saw him first and called my attention away from the Sunday funnies.

They say the early bird catches the worm.  If I’m a worm, I’m sleeping in.  That’s all I have to say.

On Sunday, Brad Keselowski drove the #2 car to win the [wreck fest] spring race at Talladega.  This was Brad’s fourth win at this track and his second of the season.  I wrote a haiku for him after one of his earlier wins.

Your car the fastest,
Your smile has stolen our hearts,
In Victory Lane.
