I visited Stevens-Coolidge Place late this afternoon to see if any new flowers had popped up. There are still tulips in bloom but the iris are hiding. I saw buds on a redbud …

This is fascinating @Chris, thanks for sharing. His instant memory and skill at drawing is amazing.

I love the use of the windows as eyeglasses!

Let me try again... https://photos.smugmug.com/Wandering-near-home/Spring-2019/i-PfFn82w/0/cf5dc6fa/X3/201905_XT2_8234-X3.jpg Works for me now too! I know I have a habit of breaking things but I have to admit I am relieved that you saw the …

I've been alternating between uploading photos directly and using links to photos on my SmugMug site to embed photos in my posts. A few minutes ago I successfully used a link to embed a photo. I just tried to use a link to embed a photo in a …

Buds on a tree, soon to open.

Three weeks ago I visited tulips in two gardens in the Philadelphia area. This week the tulips in gardens near home (in northeastern Massachusetts) are in prime bloom. It appears that our spring growing season is at least 3 weeks apart. I find that …

Thanks for letting me know about this @Victoria! Funny, I volunteer for a property owned by The Trustees of Reservations. Unfortunately it's not on the list of sites for the balloon - guess I'll have to visit one of the other properties!

absolutely amazing! It was great that they shared the names of the cactus and the size of the flowers at the end. Thanks for sharing...

Wow!

When I first got Fios the upload speed was slower than the download speed, but a while back (I think it has been a couple of years) they upgraded the service to match speeds for upload and download. I had 75 Mbps service (up & down) but they had a …

Verizon Fios makes me happy...

Azalea have finally started to …

These are wonderful. I love both the size and the color.

They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing...

It's funny, I always think once the tulips emerge the daffodils disappear. That's not true this year - I saw daffodils in many sizes during my wander at Long Hill earlier in the week. Here are three, ranging in size from small to slightly larger …

I usually have two books under way at the same time, one on my Kindle, one on the Kindle app on my phone (for when I am away from home). On my phone I'm reading Becoming by Michelle Obama. I'm still in the early years, during her transition from …

My usual breakfast consists of cereal and fruit - but I am pretty picky in my choice of cereals. For hot cereal my usual choice is either oatmeal or Woodstock 5 grain cereal. I add fresh fruit and nuts, sometimes raisins. Cold cereal choices are …

The color is amazing!

A tiger lily in yellow caught my eye as I walked through the gardens at Long Hill yesterday. It was a sunny day until the evening when the rain started …

That is incredible, very moving.

Some tulips (in the gardens near home) are past their prime, some are still buds. Here are a few that jumped into my camera …

If there is a sand sculpting contest near you I encourage you to go and watch. While the progress is slow, it's fascinating too. I'm lucky to live relatively close to the New Hampshire coast. There is an annual event in Hampton Beach each year. I …

Grape hyacinth have such tiny flowers but they always do a good job of standing out!
