This is Week 6 of the You Capture blog carnival hosted by Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry. Each week Beth presents a new challenge and this week’s challenge was Spring.
I took this picture this morning after it rained for a couple of hours. Ahhh...nothing says "Spring" like rain drops on weeds waiting to be mowed. ;) But I thought it made for an interesting photo.
And my three year old calls these "magic." I'll let you guess what she loves to do with them.
Now, this is what I am looking forward to--morning glories! Because weeds aren't the only things growing 'round here...
Those tiny elephant ears will eventually grow into this, one of my favorite flowers (and a favorite of the bees, too):
This last photo was taken by my son, Robert, in 2004.

What a fantastic bumble bee capture. All of your photos were fantastic, but I got really excited when I saw the bee (ok, feeling strange). And, dandilions ARE magical. Your daughter is right.

ReplyDeleteYou make weeds look downright lovely :) I also love Morning Glories...have you ever planted them together with Moon Flowers?
ReplyDeleteThe raindrops on the leaves IS really cool! Nice job!
ReplyDeletemagical dandelions....ah yes. It's all so lovely that springy! great pictures!
ReplyDeleteGrace is absolutely right! They are magical. And had you not pointed out that the first was weeds I would have thought you planted shamrocks or clover... next time SHHHHHHHHHHH! LOL
ReplyDeleteThose weeds show up and nothing kills then off! lol My boy was out picking some the other day... he thinks they are pretty flowers.

The dandelion pictures are great! Dandelions always me think of Horton (you know, the elphant).
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you caught the back end of a bumble bee (or Robert caught it), but it sure was neat. The rain droplets were so clear. Great capture. My kids loves "magic" flowers too!!!
ReplyDeleteDandilions: Magic until you realize that they only create more weeds in your yard ... yet another dream that adulthood robs you of!
ReplyDeleteI like the shot of the water drops on the weeds (looks strangely like my yard!)
I love these shots. Wonderful done!
