    GmaFoley- what beautiful little bird's.  I get a few hummingbirds and not too many others low enough to snap for the camera. Your roses are spectacular.

    Ruthbru- it must be so relaxing to walk thru all the green a pretty places.

    I have a family of hummers about 10 now that visit every spring.   Very hard to capture

    But I think this was one of my first perfect moments for my goldfinches.

    Ruthbru - yes , I love the lavender . I have not made it out to the lavender fields of the San Juan Islands of the Puget Sound of Washington State. It so my bucket list too.I have a few of them in my garden. My health has stopped me from doing much travel alas.

    Gmafoley- the finches are so precious. I will have to look for my HB images also.

    SoCalLisa- castle is beautiful.

    Thanks for the compliments, ladies!  I am by no means an experienced photographer like some others here, but I happen to get some good shots every once in a while!

    More lupine in the front garden:

    Stunnning, Monis!!!! Sometimes it is the objects we are shooting that make the picture, not our skill.

    Monis-I love Clematis. So many colors and varigations.

    GmaFoley- Ah the deer are so adorable. I never get to see them up close. I know they love to eat Hibicus in Fla.

    SiCal-  Roses my favorite.My first one has bloomed but some little critters maybe caterpillars chomped some holes in the outer petals.

    GmaFoley- lovely and peaceful images. God surely has been rocking  my chair this week as the severe BC spread seen in one test not seen in others. So I'm going w/the better report for sure.Loopy
