I'll Follow The Sun

Celebrating the fact that we are having a heat wave here in Michigan. The temperature has been 25 degrees for two straight days now! I'm being optimistic that the record-breaking cold is gone for the season, maybe just wishful thinking....Here is a photo that I took last Summer, where the flowers are growing towards, and basking in full sunlight. It warms me inside just thinking that Spring is right around the corner! So, TGIF, Happy Valentine's Day, and enjoy your weekend everyone!

Bee Happy!

Fooling around in my yard taking photos, and found this Bee just having a great time, flying from branch to branch getting whatever food he could get from the flowers. I was surprised at the amount of detail I was able to capture in these photos, as I usually do not get too close to bees. I am hoping that I will get opportunity to take some more bee photos in the future, maybe with a closer view. Hope you enjoy them! Happy Saturday!

Is It A Flower or Weed?

Here is a photo of one of the first blooms in my yard. When I moved a few years ago, I planted all perennials in my garden in the front of my house. This particular photo is a flower I never planted. It pops up every year and it is really pretty. I am wondering if it is really a flower or just some type of pretty weed. The blooms are really small (about the size of a quarter), and I have never seen any type of flower like this. Inquiring minds want to know...is it a flower or a weed?
