oh, lovely spring!

   i remember being outside as a child- how wonderful it was to go exploring... running around, climbing trees, observing bugs in the grass, finding the special little things in my yard that existed in their own secret magical realm...
your yard is a whole world of its own.

the other day, the weather was perfect-- a slight breeze, birds carolling in the trees, squirrels scurrying for treats...  so i made like a kid and went exploring and playing in the yard. [ with my camera in tow of course! ]

it was fun discovering the flowers blooming, to see the first uncurlings (i made that word up) of leaves and blossoms.
here are a few beautiful things i found . . .  .  .    .
