Spring Has Sprung!

The Pink Lady is absolutely bursting with blossoms all over town this year.  It must have liked the rain we had. This was taken in the middle of the day and I almost didn't take it because flowers in full sun don't usually come out too well. This is one of several out on the church patio.

The flowers on our patio are out in full bloom also.

Temperatures expected to be in the eighties this weekend.

 We think we might go out to the desert soon as we hear the desert flowers are at their best right now.

 My plumeria survived yet another winter.  We had no frosts this year.  It will not flower now until later in the year as I remember.  The dry dirt area on the bank is for the birds to take their dust baths. They love it there. Truly!  Maybe I will get a photo of them .

 So Rune, how is it in Norway?  We may have great weather but you have the greatest scenery.  This is of no specific area.  I took two photos and combined them.  (Water colors) This isn't the most spectacular scene we saw but I just wanted to draw some Norwegian-type houses. I love their bright colors and geometrical shapes.  Note that we are looking at the back of these houses (no doors) probably because the weather comes  in from where we are standing.  Like England, Norway has spectacular gardens and flowers but you can't have masses of flowers without rain.
