The monthly photo challenge is hosted by Eileen and April's theme is "Spring".
Spring to me means new growth:
 |
| New Leaves on the Persimmon Tree |
And lots of flowers in the garden.
 |
| Geraniums (Purple Martha Washington) |
 |
| Crocosmia |
Spring is the best season in the garden for me.
"What do you think about it, Dancer?"
 |
| "Who, me?" |
 |
| "What do I think about it?" |
 |
| "I need to sleep on it, Mummy" |
 |
| "I ain't no spring chicken, you know." |
Thank you, Eileen, for hosting the monthly photo challenges. Dancer and I have fun participating in them.
The flowers are beautiful. I love Dancer's comment about not being a spring chicken! Ha! He's quite the joker. This morning I had organized a local pancreatic cancer walk for a cure, in memory of my sister. I was so worried it'd be a failure, as it was chilly and the riverfront (Mississippi) is flooded, but there was a friendly group and we walked around the flood, and everyone had a good time. I've never organized something like this before. Next year I'll try to make it bigger!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. :)
DeleteOh, I am so happy to hear that your walk for a cure in memory of your sister turned out so well, even if it was chilly and the riverfront was flooded. That was such a lovely thing to do. Well done organizing it and I hope it will be an even bigger success, next year. :)
Love all the flower photos! Definitely looks like springtime there. Who doesn't adore Dancer photos? I love the captions!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon; the garden is full of flowers! As for Dancer, well, he's part of these monthly challenges now, but, he flat out refused to "spring into action" for me! :D
DeleteYour flower photos are lovely. So Dancer is totally uninterested in Spring but he did spring into action on the lizards tail :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Yes, Dancer will spring into action only when he wants to! :D
DeleteWhat a pretty post with all of your blossom pictures. For sure you captured Spring for us all.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a variety of wonderful things growing in your garden. I always enjoy seeing what's happening.
HaHa Dancer, no spring chicken here either! lol
Thank you, Debra. Glad you enjoyed seeing the spring flowers.
DeleteDancer meows a hello to you. :)
With all of those spring blooms, you have potential for a lot of fruit in the coming months. Hope the weather cooperates.
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. We are keeping our fingers crossed. The temperatures are fluctuating - we were sunny and in the 80s this week and will be in the 60s, next week, with rain in the forecast!
DeleteWhat a beautiful cat. And your flowers, the abundance of it, was a bit shocking for me:) It is always good to know, that somewhere out there it is full blown summer, always.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jozien and Dancer says you have a discerning eye! :D Yes, the garden is full of flowers this year, after all the rain we had this winter and spring. :)
DeleteBeautiful flowers to admire, but I see Dancer prefers relaxing in Spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. Yes, Dancer likes to spend his time relaxing! :)
DeleteSo many beautiful flowers. It is a lovely time of year, but I do wish it would warm up a bit. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules; spring is when my garden is at its peak. I will join you in wishing it would warm up a bit - it got quite cool, again.
DeleteSuch a beautiful variety of blooms in your garden. I like the photo of the roses. The scent of orange blossoms must be fantastic. Dancer is so absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary-Lou; the garden is full of flowers this year, after all the rain we had. The roses pictured here are root stock roses! I believe they are Dr. Huey roses. The hybrid tea roses that were grafted onto the root stock died, but, the root stock plants are very hardy. I have 6 root stock/Dr. Huey rose plants growing in my garden and they thrive with neglect! Definitely my kind of roses!
DeleteThe orange blossoms have a lovely scent and they perfume the whole garden in the evenings.
Dancer says thank you! :)
Wow!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteLove the photos of your "orchard" garden and it's springtime look. And very glad to hear Dancer weigh in on it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susanne. :D
