Bloomers Are Showing

Standard size daffodils give perspective to the miniature variety

Sylvia reminded me that I had failed to include a photo of the miniature daffodils in my most recent post.  There are some of them in the upper right (not far upper right) of this photo.  To me they look the same, but smaller.  Perhaps Sharkey can see more difference that that.  She does have a well trained eye.  I’ve learned a lot about plant identification by reading her blog.

I had also mentioned that there was only one snow drop blossom in view.  Fortunately, that has changed.

Some of the many snow-drop blossoms

I had a very hard time trying to capture an in-focus image of snow drops.  The ones in the lawn were most difficult and I even went out in the rain to try for better results.  I’m disappointed, but wanted to share what I did get.

These beauties grow out in the yard

It appears I need to read the camera’s instruction manual.  But I’m a guy, and guys don’t do that.  Do we?  Okay, I cheat some times and read instructions.  It’s not as much fun, but is frequently less frustrating.

Personal Update

I had a 6-month follow up with my cancer surgeon (urologist) yesterday.  Nothing disappointing or frustrating in that.  Once again he reported “perfect” test results.  We will continue monitoring.  And praying.
