My friends have a Clematis blooming already.  I went for a different look with it by focusing on the center and keeping the petals somewhat abstract.  Remember you can always click on an image to view larger.

This is an older sunset that I found while looking through some photos.  It's from back in December.  Haven't had many lovely sunsets, need clouds for that and since we don't get much rain, no clouds.

This is an image from last year.  Still hoping for the Hummingbirds to stop by this Spring.  So for the Baltimore Orioles are enjoying the Humming bird food.  I got lucky with this close up shot as a Hummer came to get some food last summer.

Another image from Yellowstone.  I just loved it there with such unique views to see.  This steamy area with it's blue pools was almost alien looking.  This is the Black Growler Vent in the Norris area of Yellowstone National Park.  The Tetons can be seen in the distance.

This is a beautiful tulip that some friends of mine have at their house.  I had never seen such a perfectly outlined by natural means flower like this.  The day was incredibly windy when I was trying to get this image so I was very glad it was in focus too!  I need to look for interesting tulip bulbs like these this fall.

This is a Pin Cushion flower from my garden last summer.  I looked the other day and looks like the plant made it through the harsh winter we had so hope to have some more blooms to observe and photograph this summer.

Posting a bit late today as I just got home.  I took this photo a couple of weekends ago in Wamego, KS of the old Dutch Windmill style flour mill.  It was built in 1879 twelve miles north of Wamego.  In 1925 it was moved stone by stone to Wamego.  The stones were numbered as it was dismantled and then reassembled in order.On this day there were only about half the tulips in bloom due to the late spring we had.  You can see them at the bottom of the photo.  The Redbud trees were blooming rather nicely.
