Will Never Forget

Not to remind but to remember the EF4s and 5s that ravaged the countryside almost a year ago. I'm reminded every time I walk out my backdoor. The world knows of Tuscaloosa, but it hit a lot closer to home for a lot of us. The little yellow flower reminds me that life goes on and that time is the great healer and the cedar stump tells me to never forget.

Drink It Up

A refreshing shower makes us all feel better. These irises are below our kitchen window.

Shot The Wife With A Snoot

I was playing around with the speedlites last night, with a homemade snoot, and Pam got in the line of fire. It really wasn't an accident.

Purple Iris

The first one to bloom under the kitchen window.

Wild Cherry Blossoms

Just noticed these little blooms on the wild cherry tree in the back yard. Seems the pollenators knew it first.

Apple Blossoms

This may be the last year for this old tree; only about half of it has blossomed. We'll savor it while it lasts.

Bleeding Hearts

First bloomers in the bed. The mild winter has brought these little ones out early.

Stormy Spring Begins

This was during the March 2, outbreak that saw a lot of devastation from Indiana to Alabama. Several tornadoes were close to us (Harvest, AL).

Sydney On The Prowl

Whenever I go outside for anything, but especially to take some photos, Sydney likes to follow me around. She's such an attention-hound!

Forsythia

This is our earliest bloomer.
