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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Hope you are having a wonderful Easter weekend.
