Gazing Up Into a Mass of White

Standing underneath this massive blooming tree, I was surrounded by a sea of fragrant white blossoms and a host of bees!

Struggling to Bloom

This flower looks as if it is struggling to open up. You can see some residual rain on it. I may check it later to see if it was able to overcome it's struggle with the weight of the rain.

Purple Flox

I've always loved Purple Flox ever since I was a child. They were plentiful where I grew up. These made a nice color show despite the gray rainy day.

Rainy Morning Blossoms



The sky was nearly the same color as these blossoms, as it was raining outside, but they looked glorious just the same!

Rain Beads

It was raining lightly as I walked around this morning. The rain beads made a nice image on this plant.

Hazy Day in PA. Mountains

Coming down out of the Mountains in PA., the air was thick with humidity and the clouds were gathering. You can see areas of soft feathery grass in some places, as well as groups of trees intermixed with grassland. This image shows the heat of the day. The possibility of a summer storm, and the beauty of the area.

Color Festival

The Tulips this day were just an amazing array of colors. The lemon yellow ones might be my favorite.

Pink Unfolds

Beautiful pink blossoms some fully open, others mostly closed. swaying ever so slightly in the afternoon breeze.
