Days 85-91

Day 85

 Ramshackle abandoned building I see everyday coming home from work. Love the old dormer windows and imagine children peeking out the window, whispering to the stars at night after bedtime.

Day 86

 Lilacs down the lane.

Day 87

 Neighbour kitty sitting in the sun on the stairs.

Day 88

 A bunny surprise in the parking lot at work.

Day 89

 Bluebells, cockleshells . . .

Day 90

 How can you resist that look?  Smoky is not allowed out after about 7 pm where I was housesitting but he did not give up easily.  Every night there was much pleading with mournful meows but I stayed strong.

Day 91

Chive pods are popping  . . . purple pompons.

Days 78-84

Day 78

 Feathered friend and a highly detailed shadow.

Day 79

 Rhododendron macro.

Day 80

 Getting acquainted with my new sidekick . . . woohoo!

Day 81

 Surprised by this beauty when I stopped by a favourite old barn on my way to work.

Day 82

 Fading glory . . . pretty pink hyacinth.

Day 83

 Yummy treats on the way!

Day 84

Dressing up for our visiting Nigerian healing evangelists, Kola and Bola.

Such an amazing time we had with them.

Days 71-77

Day 71

This flashy number caught my eye waiting at a red light.

Day 72

"Tulipa Tarda" . . . only open when the sun shines 

and they bloom in clusters on a single stem.

Day 73

The rain sent all these lovelies sprawling so I cut them to enjoy a little longer.

Day 74

It's a sunny day and the Tarda tulips are open wide.

Day 75

These little visitors always make me smile.

Day 76

First crop of dandelions already gone to seed.  

The child in me still finds these magical.

Day 77

"I send thee pansies while the year is young,

yellow as sunshine, purple as the night.

Flowers of remembrance, ever fondly sung

by all the chiefest of the Sons of Light . . ."

~ Sarah Doudney

Days 64-70

Day 64

 New colour coming in the succulent planter.

Day 65

 Wasp building a nest in my bird feeder . . . I was wondering why the little fliers were not coming to eat.  It has been taken care of.

Day 66

 Just over the fence . . . a lovely japonica flowering shrub.

Day 67

 Robin red breast amid clusters of spring blossoms.

Day 68

 And a chickadee too.

Day 69

 Pretty pink camelias.

Day 70

Easter sunrise at Crescent Beach.

He is risen indeed!
