Tuesdays Photography

Here goes Tuesdays Photography Post. Not sure if I have left this out or not but these are not necesaryily photos taken on Tuesdays. This week I have a mix of yard photos & photos from other places:

Yard Photos:

Broad Beans just after germination a few weeks ago.

Epimedium rubrum

Pulmonaria longifolia

Daffodil 'Replete' - They sell them as Pink and say in fine print
that they turn pink as they age. We shall see.

American Goldfinch, Male.

Blue Jay - Nesting in the Maples out back.

Non Yard Photos: The forests & trees are in full bloom here in the eastern part of North America. Every one in the area should take a drive and see some wild blooms, they are spectacular.

White Trillium

Trout Lily

Blood Root

Toad

Not sure what this one is. It was a large shrubby
tree that looks to have been planted by the city.

  2. What a nice batch of photos! Pulmonaria is my new favorite for this year, both for it's pink and blue flowers and it's interesting mottled leaves.

  6. DP - Those broad beans really like the cool spring weather. You could proably grow them in Feburary in your climate.

    Sande - I really like Pulmonaria too, they have such nice leaves all summer.

    LeighAnn - I had to check the tags for a few of the names. I used to remember a lot more a few years ago then I do now.

    Waters-deep - I have Squirrels that attack everything, I feel your pain. :-)

    Matron - We have been having a lot of finches visit the feeders this year. It is very nice to see them all.
