Wow! Free food! I used to go to a wooded field not far from me to pick blackberries, apples and plums. It's so much nicer eating stuff you've picked yourself.

Your apples are quite a bit further along than our apples! This will be an off year for our apple trees....some years we get hundreds on our 4 trees. There are a few people in the area who we let come over and pick them by the barrel full to feed the deer. We also have cherries and peaches, berries, and grapes, I love home grown fruit and veggies!

Well... not a photo of mine but I found this on the internet... I can almost hear the raindrops falling onto the flowers.

I could watch that for hours. Very soothing - thank you Barbie.

A bit common maybe, but I think they're nice.

Definitely forget-me-nots. Along with the dandelions, they're trying to take over my garden:

I didn't know forget-me-nots were wild. I love wild flowers, especially trumpet shaped ones like foxgloves.

Paynekj,
I love your pictures, especially the detail in the dandelion photo. What camera and lens are you using?

Here's a picture of a day lillie, of course enhanced with a couple of G'mic filters.

Thank you.

I use two cameras mostly: A Pentax K10D DSLR with various lenses and extension tubes, and a Panasonic TZ10 compact (as used for the dandelion)

Another example of the dandelions and forget-me-nots taking over my garden:

considering we didn't have much rain in April I have NO idea how the apples are even showing up!

we seem to be getting May shows now, so who knows? apples may grow big and ripen.

I wish I had more space for growing things to eat. I do love spring and watching everything just explode

You are a very good photographer paynekj, saw some of your photos on your site, very impressive.

Here's our latest bloom.

Wow, love the water drops on the Tulip Charlie.

Thanks Molly,
It had just rained. Plus now you've got me thinking, is this a tulip or a rose! I'm fairly certain it's a yellow rose, but I don't see any thorns on the stem, so now I'm not sure.

Went for a stroll in the local gardens today and took some photos.

Thank you. I did have some bluebells and snowdrops but they came out blurry.
