It's All About the Colour....
(all photos are clickable for a much larger view).


You definitely know it's Spring time when you see these familiar "flowers". Yesterday was so beautiful outside that I decided to go out for a little nature photo shoot ;o) I know Dandelions are an awful weed that people spend all their time trying to get rid of, but have you ever looked at one real close to see how pretty it actually is?
.

Go ahead and click on it...I've left all the photos large so you can see all the wonderuful detail in them! Isn't it pretty...doesn't it look so soft...and what about all those little "twirlies"?...aren't they neat?
.
.

It was so nice to go outside and see COLOUR! Everywhere I looked I saw little bits of yellow, purple, white, and pink popping up...such a nice change from all the boring browns.

I noticed all the new leaves starting on all our trees...doesn't this look just like a baby bird's mouth opening up for food?
.
.
Look at the texture of that leaf...
.
.
I love the reds and greens...look at them all wrinkled up just waiting to stretch out.
.

.
Such beautiful colours and texture...
.

A while back we had to cut one of our trees in the back yard because it was dying...while walking around outside yesterday I seen this new tree shooting up out of the ground right beside the big stump of the old tree we had cut down...I can't tell yet, but I'm assuming that this new tree is a baby from the old one...I sure would hope so because it was such a beautiful tree and I miss it. I kinda thought the new leaf coming out from the top looked just like a pumpkin seed!
.
.
Well, I guess that's it for now...sorry if you found it boring...after all, it's just weeds and leaves! It's just so nice to see signs of new life after our long crumby winter weather though!
.
We've had a big, fat racoon as well as a fox visiting us, but everytime I go to grab my camera they disappear off into the woods...I'll have to be smarter about where I leave the camera...
.
Hope all is well with everyone!
.
Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Those are some beautiful photos of weeds and leaves - I never find them boring. I hope that twig is a baby from the old tree!
