Redbud and bee

Six days ago I took a picture of the buds coming out on the Redbud tree. I heard birds calling and singing. I heard the waterfall splashing.
But there was one sound I didn't hear:
buzzzzzzzzz

Now the Redbud flowers are fully open and the Bumblebee has come to enjoy them.
If you stand under any flowering tree in the yard this evening you will hear:
buzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Tickle me pink

Pink buds on trees


Fragrant pink flowers on bushes
Pink flowers on trees
a whole pink tree!

A miniature rock garden

There is just a tiny hollow in this rock. It's only about the size of a cup. Just look at all the tiny plants that are growing there!

Aways greener

Everywhere you look, things are turning GREEN.



When you look down you see fresh little fern fiddle heads and little baby plant leaves, all shades of green.





When you look up you see little green leaves and green tree flowers .






Spurge and clover and violet plants are green, green, green.








And as for the grass....





so green it glows!
I guess we'll be mowing soon.

While we're on the subject of aliens

Shaggy, shapeless things are all over the pond. Weird! Will something hatch out of there?
They seem to be balanced on slender sticks.

This one seems to have a sad, droopy face.
This one sports the letter "S".
Do you see other things in these strange forms?
Do you know what they really are?

Now what will we have for dinner?



The aliens have landed!







What will we do?







They are taking over the potatoes!
