No.105: Dried Pods

I was looking for signs of spring in the backyard.  But I only found remnants of last year.

No.22: Leaves

It has been dull and overcast for a few days here.  I need sunshine, not heat, just sunshine.  These leaves were cold, they were shivering.   I was cold while taking this picture, I was shivering.  I cannot believe between the two I was able to focus.  I am looking forward to spring.

No.20: Flowers

My ten year old daughter and I had 45 minutes to pick up some groceries while the youngest was at an afterschool activity and the eldest was at Basketball practice.   As we were choosing apples she saw that I had the camera in my purse and said, "Mom take some pictures".  So I did, very discreetly.  I wasn't even looking through the view finder but instead took these pictures "from the hip" so to speak.  I'm glad I did.  These are the only flowers we will be seeing for at least five more months.

No.12: Bamboo

It is the only photo-synthesizer currently residing at Bungalow'56, and it is my kind of plant.  It's needs are simple. An old Mason jar filled with rocks and water make it very happy. . . apparently for years and years?  I connect with my Bamboo stalks.  They have allowed me to pretend that I am capable of caring for plants.  As they continue to thrive under my nurturing green thumbs, I realize I am a gardener. Who knew?
