Missouri Iris

Finally caught a mild, windy day. Luckily, the rain hadn't knock all of them down. It's been so windy around here lately, I can't capture any of the flowers in their prime.

Twisties....Whirligigs.....Helicopters

Or whatever you want to call them we have millions this year and they are everywhere.

If only I had a Penny...........I would be.......LOL

Spring Tulips 2010

Captured these one morning, heading for work. We have a garden in the middle of an intersection that the master gardeners maintain and I just happened to drive down this road while cutting around some traffic congestion. I'm always forgetting about it cause it's on a road I don't travel on much. Anyway, took these and a few more and will post as I work them up. I thought I'd get back over there the next morning, earlier, but forgot. They would look better if the sun was not as high as it was on this day.

Waking Up.

Hummmm....when I click on new post, I have to delete your signature...what's up with that? Anyway, took this quickly this am cause I wanted to catch it as it was emerging. I got home last night and noticed that it was covered with buds and it was waking up this morning. Love this tree! It's not real sharp but was pretty windy and I didn't want to wait.

New Spring...

I'm not sure what I did but I posted this last night and it disappeared. Maybe I just dreamed that I posted it...LOL....
We are finally in full Spring now. I can't believe how much opened up this weekend. It's like everything that had been asleep all winter, decided to wake up at the same time. The world is once again, beautiful!

Spring Time Mosaic

Went back through my pictures and pulled out a few that says Spring Is Here. I normally like the nice bright colors of Spring but I decided to tone them down some by giving this a vintage look by adding an overlay from Florabella.

Spring Robins

These little gals are sooooo fat! I needed to use the tripod cause the lighting was terrible but it was in the truck and I was in the house and I didn't want to scare them off. It's till snowing right now but not real heavy. Kansas City is getting hit really hard...last time I saw the weather they had over 8 inches and still coming down. I hope it slides past us! We have had more than our share for one season.
I started feeding the birds last fall and we are just now beginning to see a variety of them. We had tons of robins, one cardinal and one woodpecker this morning and tons of little chickadees. I love watching them! I need to get a book on Missouri birds and learn how and what to feed them so I can get some different ones. My sister in law has Orioles and they are so beautiful!
This is a kit called Spring Breeze by Michelle Shefveland and I got it from Scrappers Guide.

First Day of Spring.....&**%$#$%^&

Look what we woke up to......I'm about to pack it up and move somewhere tropical! We were just getting the rock roads settled down so we could travel on them. This is disgusting!
