Garden Variety

It's not that Carter and I are in some sort of competition to see who gets better nature photos in our backyard. But we sort of are. Ha. Here's a garden variety of recent photos from our non-garden areas...

This isn't what I had in mind when I wanted to see the Chippendales for Mother's Day. Not sure if this is Chip or Dale.

This is about the only flower / plant I haven't killed since we moved out to the "country" 10 years ago. Purple power prevails!

When the red, red robin comes bob-bob-bobbin' along...

Honeysuckles bring back memories of walks in the woods as a child. When we'd come upon honeysuckles, we'd tear the little red "bulbs" off the ends and eat them. They were sweet and, I guess, non-poisonous. Good thing.

Now I see who enjoys the other end of the flower!

Different angle. Kind of cool.

Wedding bells? They are really tiny, but pretty.

And here is the other plant I managed not to kill. Yet. Pretty in pink!

Knee deep in pollination.

My favorite photo of the day... A chance of ice cream on Saturday?? Now that's MY kind of forecast!
