Unexpected sunshine and blue skies greeted us this morning. A quiet thunderstorm had passed over us before dawn. The landscape was left damp with beads of water standing on the fresh green of young spring flowers pushing up to herald spring. After a few errands She decided to root around a bit in the flower beds. I changed the bird feeders, putting away that providing for high demand, leaving only the thistle seed feeder and one for suet — our spring and summer selection. Tiny and beautiful flowers (Iris reticulata) were in full bloom and posing for admirers and photographers. I retrieved my camera with macro lens and did a little shooting. It was wonderful to be out enjoying the day and to forget about car shopping. I work this afternoon, however, so I heaved a sigh and went indoors for lunch and to dress for the office. It's spring and this isn't a car blog.

Wow – you have flowers? I have shoots coming out of the ground but no-where near anything flowering (except the orchid I have inside).
Yes, Emjay, though tonight a mixture of rain and snow is falling on
those tough little plants, we have blooms, glorious blooms I tell you!
The crocuses have come and gone, followed by the little gems seen here.
The daffodils will begin blooming in force during the coming week. The
birds are singing their springtime songs. There's hope for warmth and
beauty not long ahead. — JG
Really beautiful! Our daffodils are ready to bloom, probably tomorrow or Thursday. I need to clean out the flower beds before the hostas come up very far.
Our daffodils are at about the same stage as yours. The budding tips of the flower stems are becoming brighter yellow by the day. — JG
