It’s amazing how a few days of sunshine and warmer temperatures brought forth the beauty of Spring as flowers rival one another to bloom and display their colors. I took the following shots over two different mornings around our house.

Three Kinds of Flowers

The cold at the beginning of this month killed many of our flowers. Ninety percent of the Magnolias are now crumpled brown. At least half of the Bleeding Hearts are wilting, and I thought they were cold resistant! This afternoon, right after coming home, I grabbed my camera and walked around to find flowers to photograph. The three kinds of flowers shown below were surprisingly alive and full of energy

Asian Pear flowers.

Cherry blossoms.

Bleeding Hearts. These grew closer to the house foundation and survived the several freezes we had.

Bleeding Hearts are in full bloom around the house and this morning they were good to photograph from any angle.

I took the following macro shots with a trusted old lens from Canon. I bought the lens many years ago when film was reigning and digital cameras were unheard of. It still works and performs flawlessly.
