Now It’s Daffodils …

Last month it was my obsession with tulips and watching them grow, now it’s daffodils…

Unexpected Flowers …

These two pictures were taken in May 2007 in Ocean Park.  I love how the daffodils have popped up in an unexpected place behind the bench.  Have to admit I didn’t sit there as some bees had already staked out the area.

Untitled Flower Post …

As I was driving home into NJ from PA last night I stopped to take a picture of the sunset.

There haven’t been any sunflowers, or anything else there since 2010. I’m hoping they’ll be back again this year, because not only are they beautiful but you couldn’t drive past this spot without smiling. :)

Here’s to spring and the promise of summer and sunflowers.

My Tulip Obsession …

I love tulips but never have I enjoyed them more than the past two weeks.  On my birthday my daughter Deb bought these ‘grow your own tulips’ for me and I set about not only watching them grow, but taking pictures of them from all sorts of angles.

Slowly they began to open…

******** UPDATE *******

When cutting back the tulips this morning they had a surprise for me… nestled down amongst the leaves was this tiny squooshed bud.

I moved the leaves back a bit and look at that, another tulip and the enjoyment continues.
