Took Some Pictures Outside

Spring shoots,

Well, I did it, I took a few pictures outside in the backyard, but didn't get anything too exciting. The weather is just starting to be warmer and we are late in our Spring time flowering schedule. I guess that a few more sunnier and warmer days will make a huge difference. I will take more photos in about 2 days, then I can compare the changes and enjoy them too. Is your Spring late too where you live?

Spring is not late here, I would say the opposite, but today is dark and it rains from last night. No photos and outdoor activities today.

@marlina Yes, I am so upset, I am glad that the temperature is still high, I had a scary moment last night thinking to my tomatoes outside.

Spring has definitely sprung here on the Mediterranean Coast, the temperatures are creeping up every day.... but we do not have many flowers as it is a very dry area...

Not many flowers? But where do you get all those beautiful photos of flowers then?

It is awfully late this year, but it is here now. I am just taking a little break from our outdoor work, the sun is hot today.

@marlina We finished it just before supper. It felt so wonderful to be outside in the warm sunshine today, I hope that you felt that way too.

@marlina I don't mind since it has been warm here. It will also help wiping off the dust

@Missmwngi As long as you are happy with it, that's okay then.

All I know is that by the time we returned from Florida, most of my flowers that should be in bloom now, had already bloomed. So I suppose, because of the mild winter, Spring came early.

@DianneN You still have impatiens, I thought they were not on the market anymore because of a disease?

Are those periwinkles in your photo? They look similar; we have some in the garden here too.

sometimes, when we take a picture of something unattractive, when we look closer, we find more beauty in it. indeed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

That one lone blue flower looks like it needs friends. Hopefully in a few days there will be many more to keep it company.
