Everyday I walk the dogs along a similar path. They like to sniff around near this little cherry tree. I sniff the tree with my black artificial nose.

These caught my eye this morning. The wisteria is just starting to come into bloom.

For Brashley Photography’s Twirling Tuesday. It’s a lot of fun you should give it a spin!
The blossoms on my Japanese maple tree are tiny and sway in the slightest breeze. Every year I try to capture these tiny charmers with my camera. Here are a few attempts from last week.
This week for Brashley Photography’s Twirling Tuesday I used a daffodil. They are popping out all over these days.
I used the GIMP, a shareware program (free) to do this manipulation. If you are interested the directions for doing this effect are in this post: Putting a twist on it using the GIMP.
Cactus flowers always seem impossible to me: the low-key green, stubby, prickly stems don’t seem to go with the ethereal and delicate and brilliant exotic flowers.
This lovely was blooming when I went for a walk this morning.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day and Brashley Photography’s Floral Friday #10.
My amaryllises are still going strong, but I think this may be their last hurrah for the year. The three bulbs have been providing cheer continuously since the beginning of December. I’m not generally a great lover of red but the weather has been cloudy and I’ve really been enjoying the different shades of red and the way the light plays on the petals.
The one that started the display in early December is also the one that has one still unopened bud. Obviously an over achiever in more than one way!
For Nancy Merrill’s Photo a Week: Red
…and the closeup of the pollen is for Sunshine’s Macro Monday.
