Yesterday the apple trees began to bloom. I hope there are still apple flowers blooming when the rain stops next week.

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!

These plants are called green onions on the West coast, and scallions on the East coast, where I grew up. They grow well in my Seattle garden, coming back and multiplying each year so nicely.

Not my usual style of photography. It came out of the camera that way. Wonder what I did. Do you like it?

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!

These sweet little flowers come up every spring in my garden. Smaller than regular tulips (which they aren’t really), they do have their own charm.

Checkered tulip (fritillaria) naturalizes if happy in the garden.

I’ve been sick with that awful bug that’s going around, so here’s a shot from last year’s Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, north of Seattle, WA. This year the warm weather is bringing earlier blooming up there in Skagit County.
