The Yuccas Bloom

This year I guess we had enough snow and runoff because the Yuccas are blooming everywhere. This one is in the back of our house with a view of the mountains in the background.

Magical Gate

This gate is near the Garden of the Gods pullout on the Turquoise Trail (NM 14). Beyond this gate is the Garden of the Gods Sculpture Center.

Wisteria sinensis

While walking around the Plaza today I passed this Wisteria plant. It was just starting to bloom and I loved the way this bloom was hanging all by itself. We have one of these plants in our yard but it hasn't bloomed yet.

Peaceful Pond

Today I was visiting a few cemeteries. I was in Woodlawn Cemetery in Attleboro, MA. There was this beautiful, peaceful pond. I loved how all the foliage is reflected in the water.

Leaves of Three

Today while I was on a walk near the beach in Charlestown, Rhode Island I passed tons of these little plants - good thing I know what poison ivy looks like because it was all over the place and I could have gotten into tons of trouble.

A Sunset in a Flower

While walking downtown today I came across this garden full of tulips. This orange one caught my eye. It is like a sunset in a flower.

Vanessa cardui

Today I was out watering the yard and noticed all these butterflies in our cherry trees. So I took quite a few pictures. When I looked them up I found out they were call Painted Ladies.
