off track ...

I've gotten off track with my photography

but of late I've been enjoying playing in Photoshop

and a new drawing action I found yesterday!

"Road Trip"

"The Finish Line"

 

just photos ....

I enjoy photography and apparently love spring, summer & flowers

if my prior postings are anything to go by!

and so I decided to share yesterday's photos....

there is a little plum tree in my yard, and I know it couldn't have been planted

as it grows under a huge old native apricot tree.

it could be a volunteer from an abandoned plum pit, 

or a sucker from the long ago farm that the subdivision was built on.

nevertheless, each spring it blooms and every now and then bears fruit;

this year the little plum is loaded with blossoms and makes my heart sing!

and for a little fun!

how I love ....

my soft pink heritage roses!

no matter the view ....

I love these shots!

 

day-off ...

Just because Salsa got the day-off from rounding up cattle,

 it didn't mean he wasn't curious!

the wild yellow roses ....

are coming into bloom!

Amazing what a little rain & a little sun will accomplish.

more touches of spring ...

Not being lulled into thinking there may not be another freeze,

I am by-passing all those beautiful annuals in the nursery's

and instead I'm getting the yard and pots for their annual plantings.

In the meantime I'm enjoying the beauty of the blooming shrubs.

What I grew-up calling "Bridal Wreath" (spiraea)

my shrubs, now in full bloom, have grown tall enough to cover my street address.
