Mr. Robin just climbing out of his bath, ready to shake and dry off....
This beauty blooms across the fence in my neighbor's yard....but each Spring they pose right nicely for me. Added a Kim Klassen texture...and joining with Leanne at
It's funny how many times I don't see these little bugs or insects until I download my pics and voila there they are, just ready to surprise me.
This was not a surprise, I saw these little rose bud eaters and decided this would be my green shot for Alicia's Leap Into Spring challenge.
Another surprise...this looks like it's glowing from within. Sharing with Misty at Shoot, Edit, Submit..
But no surprise here, these ants hang out all over the peonies, they must be in heaven crawling up and down and all around....
We were blessed with much needed rain last night and the leaves were glistening like diamonds this morning...
Last night after meeting with my girls at church I was on my way to Hobby Lobby and decided to stop at a forest preserve. I tend to forget that we are only about 25 miles from Lake Michigan, so it always surprises me when I see a sea gull flying above. The sky was filled with wonderful clouds last night prior to the thunderstorms we had in the middle of the night.
And now after you have seen all these pretty flowers, bugs, birds and green things would you please stop over at my collaborative blog where I am sharing a difficult time in my life at Focusing On Life.
Hope you have a marvelous weekend planned.
