More Fun With Photos

I took a walk around the property looking for signs of spring yesterday, and I found them everywhere I looked. Here are some samples. If you click on them you will link to larger versions of the photos on my Flickr page.

I found several nice clumps of bluebonnets near the green house. Ron has been watering and spraying them with compost tea, and they seem to be responding nicely.

There were many of these four-nerve daisies all over the place. They look so stunning when they are combined with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush.

I tried to take some shots of bees in flight, and a couple of them came out fairly well. I definitely need more practice with these type of action shots with the telephoto zoomed out to the max.

These are the first primrose I have seen in bloom on our place, but there are many more that will be blooming soon.

This red buckeye is looking great this year. I had it planted in a much too sunny location when I first got it, and it almost died so I transplanted it in dappled shade and it is finally starting to get healthy and hearty. The hummers love this plant.

I really like this profile shot of this native columbine. I also took a close up of a bloom front on that you can view on my Flickr page that is also a pretty good shot.

Hope you are having a wonderful Easter weekend.
