Tonight we had quite the storm. Lots of hail, fortunately small. It damaged some plants like Hostas for some friends but I got lucky and things seem to be OK. This is a macro I took recently of one of my favorite plants, a Bleeding Heart with dew drops on it.

The Orioles are back. I have seen 3 males but no females yet. They always seem a bit slower to show up. I caught this one curiously eyeing my butterfly LED lights.

It is a beautiful day here in Kansas. It's a little more windy than I would like but sunny and the temps are lovely. My image today goes back to a lovely May day last year and the Cumbres & Toltec train heading over the Lobato Trestle on it's way back to Chama New Mexico.

This is a bit different image for me. This is an antique mailbox that some friends of mine have. I love the character of it with the rust patina and just the old style look to it. This type of mailbox would be fun to have instead of the boring boxy ones they are around now.

We finally saw the sun for the first time in a few days on Thursday as I write this. It still seems weird to write the day before. It was quite lovely as it had been so dreary for several days. As I was uploading today's image to share I realized that when the Lilacs bloom, my first large butterfly visitor has often been this one. I have photos from several years of a beautiful male Tiger Swallowtail visiting them. So a sure sign that Spring is here.It was very nice to see and get fairly close to this one.

It's been quite dreary out lately. Hoping for some sun even though I have been happy for the rain. My neighbor's small cherry tree is in bloom. I took a shot of the dainty flowers this past weekend. I love the very red of these leaves as well.

Well, we received a lot of rain today, which as I write this is Tuesday. The ponds are nice and full and everything I have planted so far is well watered. Nice. I thought I would share something whimsical. Hope you enjoy it. From my garden this weekend.
