Saturday snapshots

 Epimedium - brought out by just a hint of sun..
 this was supposed to be a yellow flowering rhododendron - I'd say it's cream....
 pretty in pink rhodo
 very berry red rhodo
 this gorgeous thing is a deciduous azalea, really a show off
 I would expect to see fairies dancing under this lovely specimen
 our native BC Dogwood tree
a little beauty, harts tongue fern, lives happily amongst the geraniums and ladies mantle

Helebores





Hellebores have been up since the crack of time -

Good movers - they could dance all spring!

watch out for the birds and the big bad wolf!

 So, without saying how Old I am... do you remember the first time you watched Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds?  I was pretty young when it came out but I do remember the nightmares I had after a baby sitter let me watch it. Yikes!
 Sweetie tells me this is a seal carcass that is being devoured by these baby eagles and crows. Quite gross really.
 This one I simply titled "Little Red Riding Hoods Woods" he he he, walk if you dare!
And if there are woods on the moon.... I imagine they would look like this.

What a day for a daydream

And even if time ain’t really on my side
It’s one of those days for takin' a walk outside
I’m blowin’ the day to take a walk in the sun
