I saw a lot of this yellow plant by the roadside when I lived in Northern California. I know it sometimes goes where it is not wanted, but I am so happy to see its cheerful yellow in the springtime.

I got a new camera, another little Canon, the PowerShot 120. I don’t know all the features yet, but took it out in my yard. I like it!

Hope you are not tired of tulips. See the snow in the distance in this one? Here are many rows of colorful tulips in the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, a perfect illustration of the laws of perspective.

Thought you’d like to see a picture of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, in the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. I visited at this time of year a few years ago. What a great spring scene!
