Spring Flowers!

So, after what seemed to be a long winter, it was finally spring, and one day it was gray and rainy, the next, GREEN EVERYWHERE. And spring was here. I won't go into the weather forecast right now, which calls for a frost.  What I'm saying is spring happened overnight.
And spring means flowers. And flowers means more pictures.

 

The Hyacinths have come and gone. 

  The dandelions never leave. 

  Not sure what these are, maybe Catalpa? They smell AMAZING.

These orange Zinnia flowers we part of a planting day my friends and I had. 

Pink Verbena flowers were also part of the planting fun.

We have lilacs that have yet to bloom. I cannot wait for these.

Cardinal in a Pine Tree.

I heard this cardinal before actually seeing him. When I spotted him, I was glad to have a telephoto lense.

Hopefully these bring more spring like photos.

More Winter Pictures.

It snowed again, but this time, it seemed to stick more than normal, so it turned Kalamazoo into a beautiful winter wonderland. The sun made an appearance, making things look even more pretty.

 

Wintery Photo Goodness?

Here are some snow pictures. Because that's the weather report FOREVER.


So, it rained for what seemed like 3 days straight.

 Then it finally got cold enough to snow. And bam, it snowed, and it hasn't stopped yet.

So, with all the rain, it added water to the "pond" and it looks awesome.

I'm going to take more snow photos later.

I'm posting from my iPhone, I think. Here's another sunset picture.

Christmas Decorations.

Blue and silver ornaments.

December Sunsets.

It's now December the 11, and we've had VERY little snowfall in Kalamazoo, and this makes me sad. Why? Because without snow, Michigan just seems more depressing and ugly And i think Mother Nature is making up for it with sunsets. Here are two examples.
