Morning's air was still cool and with a breeze coming in across the chilly waters of Lake Huron I had to button up my jacket on our morning walk. No matter, we had sunshine:)) I puttered around with a lot of yard work things today and tuckered myself out. I'm not feeling too blabbery tonight so I'll leave all of you fine folks with a few photos from the day................

THIS RECENTLY SEEDED BROWN EARTH FIELD WILL SOON BE ALL GREEN |
GROANER'S CORNER:(( On a recent flight I was on, this elderly woman kept peering out the window. Since it was totally dark, all she could see was the blinking wing-tip light. Finally, she rang for the flight attendant. "I'm sorry to bother you," she said, "but I think you should inform the pilot that his left-turn indicator is on and has been for some time."

Love all the pictures specially your park's, gorgeous place !🌿🌺
ReplyDeleteAl, the photos of the blooms are absolutely magnificent. Loved the Lilacs, mine are a little late budding out, thinking maybe the 12 feet of snow slowed them down this year. :))
ReplyDeleteAl, there is something extra special/artistic about the big metal bird with it's wings outstretched & that big flowing plant. I think it's all the layers of metal feathers & all the layers of plant leaves. Don't think you ever photographed it before & I can't stop admiring it. Excellent eye.! as always. You capture so much beauty. Thanks for your lovely gift to your readers.!
ReplyDeleteAl, your photos today were so great! 😊 I don't think I've ever seen sheep or alpacas in your shots before, and I enjoyed them. Also that shot of the Dalmation with the cherry tree in bloom was super nice. You've got a very lovely "neck of the woods" and I'm glad you and Pheebs can get out and enjoy it most days. Take a *big* smell of those lilacs for me - I love them and can't grow them here, 😞
ReplyDeleteI meant redbud tree..
DeleteYour Lilacs are in bloom and your Hostas have leaves!
