I Couldn't Resist

Coming back from our afternoon walk, there it was, our very first daffodil! 

Spring really is here, despite the drizzly day today.

This is a clump that I planted many years ago at the bottom of the driveway, right above the ditch.  There's a lot of leaves now, and not a lot of buds, but I'm just happy to see a bloom:)

And the bonus.  Well to get this shot I had to get down in the ditch, and was straddling the water doing a deep sideways leg lunge.  I got a really good stretch on one side at least, and I didn't lose my balance and fall in the water either!

Bet You Can't Do This

Capturing a moment in time is sometimes just really weird.

The more I look at that tongue, .......

well, it's just kinda gross.

Pot o' Gold

We had a heavy shower of rain this afternoon, while the sun was shining.  I went looking for the rainbow, figuring that it had to be behind the house somewhere.  I couldn't see anything at first, because I was looking too high.  This was the weirdest rainbow I've ever seen.  It was off to the northeast, and was barely showing above the trees.  The ground beyond those trees drops down a few hundred feet to a flat river valley.  Usually the rainbows we see from here arch high into the sky. 

This was a first.  Weird!

The saturation has been bumped up a bit to bring out the rainbow's colours.

More Spring Fling!

The Forsythia bush at the bottom of the driveway is just about to burst in to bloom.  Forsythia and daffodils, then it really seems like Spring!

Busting Through

Despite our lousy weather not giving us much indication that Spring is on it's way, the rhubarb is tired of waiting.  The whole row is busting through the thick layer of mulch I put over it.  

Pretty in Sunlight

It was one of those weird days with hail one minute and sun the next, but lovely to have it clear off later this afternoon and get some real sunshine.

This bush, whose name escapes me at the moment, is looking quite lovely with all it's cascades of tiny blooms.

A Photo of a Picture of a Photo

I'm struggling with this whole photo a day thing right at the moment, but hopefully when we get some drier weather I'll have the urge to try for some outdoor shots.

This is a drawing by a former girlfriend of David's, that she did just after Calli was hurt in 2006.

It was based on the photo below that David had taken.
