Sunday Snapshots

Yippee!  I have lots to show you.  POOF - it's all green here now.  Lush.  Beautiful.

Even as the clematis age, their paleness is so incredibly gorgeous.

in their youth - deep and vibrant colors

I am enjoying my backyard very much.  There are bees everywhere and fortunately not much for mosquitoes yet.

And those lovely, lovely lilacs.  Look at this next image I took.  It's a valentine!

Mmmmm... it smells delicious out there.

Have a lovely Sunday!  p.s. - time to send in your postcard images to Brandy Lynn if you are swapping with us.  Canada Day is just around the corner.

Sunday Snapshots

It's been a long time since I have done a real valid, outdoor "Sunday Snapshots".  Now that I'm out in the mornings with my pooch, drinking the morning coffee on the back deck in the warm sun, I notice beauty all around.

Here is "What's left of autumn after winter goes away..."

These are my Clematis in the morning sun.  xo

and down below it over the snow...

Quiet.  Pretty.  Waiting to be reborn.
It's an enchanting time of day and year.



***UPDATE - and now it has been snowing all weekend!   Enjoy the photos nonetheless.  Have a wonderful Sunday!  I'm off to Gardenscape this afternoon for the last day of the trade show.
