Some are from my yard, but some are from the school yard and sneaking peeks through fences to a neighbor’s plants. All’s fair in spring’s bounty and photography.

Beautifull flower shots Lilly , especially like the close up from the iris and rose 🙂
Thanks! I love spring . . . aside from the sneezing part, of course.
ouch , suffering from hayfever? 😦 Glad you still managed to get these in between sneezes then , ..bless you 😉
I love all the blooms, but they don’t love me–particularly the lovely ornamental pear trees. 🙂
Same here , kids are all coughing from running about , while I crawl into the flowers with my camera again looking for bugs and gritters 🙂
Just got in from sitting in among my lilacs (which I am supposedly allergic to), taking pics of the fattest bee and my hummers and swallowtails. Didn’t sneeze once. Must be counteracted by the de-rezing joy.
Beautiful shot of iris, my favourite flower ; )
Thanks. They are lovely–so vibrant!
Those catkins are dangerous things.
Which one is that?
Wow!
Thanks. Fun.
Oh… Oh…. Oh….. what a deluge of delightful color! Thanks for sharing your sines of spring. 🙂
More to come. 🙂
Wow, beautiful! Makes me anxious for our spring. Officially it starts Thursday, but yesterday we were in freezing temps again and the WIND! Oh my it was awful; we had a WIND travel advisory!
We are having high wind here lately too, but very warm temps.
We are having tornado warning tonight and tomorrow!
Freaky weather. We had rain in the night and thunderclouds are rolling in again.
