Tulips.
Lorraina helped with id -- this is candytuft. Thanks, Lorraina!
This nice gray/blue makes a good background for pink.....
Yet another crab, on yet another clear blue day.
These are the same tulips that Wilbur and I stopped to look at last week.
Then, the noon-ish light was coming through them. Now, the harsh light of late afternoon is on their west sides.
Star-shaped fern.
I don't know how I think leaves grow, but I am continually amazed that they apparently spring, fully formed, from their stems.
Look at this fern uncurling........
Something greeny-yellow.
Hostas, doing their own unfurling.....
Another fern, not as far along in the opening process as the previous one.
The first "regular iris" I've seen this year. What a great color!
Inside a large piece of bark. The colors make me think of cave paintings.
Barberry. I wouldn't grow this, as it has some nasty thornage, but I can admire it when someone else grows it. These flowers are teeny. Quarter inchy (half a centimeter-ish).
Here's a branch that still has some of last year's berries.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous flowers photographed exquisitely!
Blush. :-)
Thank you.
A huge amount of credit goes to the engineers at Panasonic.
These were taken with my little camera, which does all its own focusing.
I frame 'em up, and then crop almost everything, but the focus, and all the color in this post, are all Panasonic.
Sometimes I mess with the color, but not in any of these..............
So amazing what modern cameras can do!
My eye, their technology..........
:-)
I was a late-comer to digital, but you'd have to pry my digital cameras out of my cold, dead fingers. :-) Being able to take an infinite number of shots at no extra cost, being able to see them right away, being able to mess with them on the computer..................
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:-)
Love the photos and, yes, I can definitely see the cave paintings in that bark :)
Your photography is absolutely awesome and more than that you have a wonderful and sharp eye to know just what to photograph.
The white flower is maybe Iberis Sempervirens also known as Candytuft.
Your season is way ahead of ours here on the wet coast of Canada so i can't compare irl. But i was curious enough to see if i still knew my stuff so i googled it.
Thanks, Jayne. I was seeing some sort of fluffy dog on the left.....
:-)
Thanks to you, too, Lorraina.
I think you are right about the candytuft. Thanks! :-)
I too was a late-comer to digital... boy, did I ever resist!!! :)
Me, too. I just couldn't see paying all that money for new camera equipment every few years.
I am finding that I use the cameras longer than I'd thought I would (I don't want to make posters, so don't need a million billion pixels)......
And the advantages are SO great -- the disadvantages are totally outweighed.
I got my old Pentax out to photograph it (some time in the last year, I think). It was huge. It was HEAVY. I do have a long lens for it, but that lens is also HEAVY. A tripod is really almost necessary to hold it still.
My bigger Panasonics both have 12x optical zoom, and my carry-all-the-time little camera has 6x optical zoom. (I did buy the second "big" camera because the very first one is pretty low in the pixel department. I got the newer one just before we went to Alaska. All three cameras went on the trip, with my daughter using the older big one. :-) )
I can take nearly all the pics I imagine taking, all with one piece of light-weight extremely portable equipment.
You can't beat that.
:-)
