Little Glimpse of Spring !!!

After what has been one of the coldest and snowiest winters in recorded history of Chicago, all I am looking for  is some sign of Spring. Yesterday I found Crocus coming out in my front lawn.  If you look closely you can see the yellow of what will become the delicate flowers.  So nice !!  Just a little glimpse of Spring....

Random Backyard Find

Few things I found today on my walk around my backyard.

spring time cherry blossom

Cherry blossoms in Japan are famous for their beauty, and to the Japanese people it symbolizes the beginning. With the recent tragedies I hope that the cherry blossoms will once again bring joy and beauty back to the country that is suffering greatly.

Bleeding Heart

I am so sad to report that right after this photograph was taken there was an accident and most of the flowers on this bleeding heart plant were ripped off. I am so thankful that I was able to capture the beautiful little pink heart shaped flowers while they lasted. It shows that we have to treasure every minute as life is so precious.....

Toad Lilly

In the fall as the weather cools and leaves starts to come down, Toad Lilly will quitely open up in my garden. It looks like clusters of small orchids and it never fails to bring smiles to my face.
