Late afternoon is a pleasant time of day, perhaps the best. I like that time of the day. However, it’s not the best time of day to take pictures. Nevertheless, I had to try yesterday. My closeup photos were out of focus. I finally remembered how to setup the camera for macro shots. I had to try.
Another variety of daffodil bursts forth in glorious splendor
It worked! You can see the purple-blue blossoms in the back. We call them myrtle, others call them vinca. In England it would be called periwinkle.
I love the richness of the color
Sylvia returned home today. Hooray! Nellie and I are happy.
I was going to report that last Friday, as I was returning from the endodontist, I saw a golden eagle less than three miles from home. It took to wing as I approached and I got an excellent close-up view. No camera, besides I was driving–it wouldn’t have worked if I had the camera with me.
I only see a golden eagle here in the neighborhood a couple of times a year. It is always a happy day for me when I do.
nice pics of Spring flowers. still waiting for mine to bloom.
I’m surprised that your spring flowers haven’t bloomed yet. You are only a few miles from here. :think:
Gotta love flowers in the spring. Nice pix. We have dafs, but not the vinca yet.
For me, those early spring flowers are the best part of that season. :awe:
The flowers are pretty. None of mine have bloomed out front yet, but the purple cone flowers (forget what they’re called, I think you blogged about them last year) are wild in the back. The bumble bees are very happy about that, and the grass isn’t long enough to mow yet, so I’m leaving them be (haha, or leaving them bee?. never mind, it’s early). 🙂
Glad your Mrs. is home. :hkitty:
Thanks, Rosey. :tiphat:
From early spring through late fall we’ll have something in blossom around here. I’ll soon have to mow. I’m not rushing into that, however. :no:
They are majestic birds, aren’t they. I can’t imagine just driving along and spying one…I get excited when I see deer. (I’m easily entertained)
Glad Sylvia is home safe. I’ll bet you missed her.
Flowers are lovely. It’s so nice to see colors again!
They certainly are majestic and awesome. The bald eagles are easier to spot. The goldens could be confused for turkey vultures, which we have in large numbers. When the soar, the two hold their wings differently. The vulture holds the wing tips up and the eagle holds them flat.
I always miss Sylvia when she’s not here. So does Nellie.
