The blossoms on my miniature rose bush are hanging on, despite all the frosts we have had.

Clouds

I love the way the sunlight catches the edges of the clouds.

 

Hyacinth

Last spring, I bought some potted hyacinths and daffodils. When I went to plant them outside last month, I found one of the hyacinths had started to put up leaves. Now it is blooming!

Skywatch Friday

The moon had not set 

 when the sun rose.

Coming in for a Landing

These geese were coming in for a landing on the river.

Reflections in a Puddle

The wind was riffling the surface of this puddle, breaking up the reflections of the trees and the clouds.

 

Virgin's Bower

The seeds of the virgin's bower, with the sun behind me.

 Not as magical as the photos looking into the sun, but still lovely.

 

Geese on the River

Yesterday the sun came out about noon, so we took a long walk near the river.

 

Watery Wednesday

The pond is starting to freeze over, so the reflections are cast in a mixture of ice and water.

Daylilies

These daylilies never got a chance to bloom

 before the weather got too cold.

 

Tatarian Statice

Going back into the archives again,

 the tatarian statice was blooming at the college in the summer.

There is a lacy feel to this family of plants.

 

Rainy Day

Our walk this morning was delayed

 till the ice had a chance to melt

 off the sidewalks.

 

Macro Flowers Saturday

I've had a bad week, so have gone back to May for these pink flowers. Thanks to the gentle readers who identified the Himalayn balsam in the previous post, and if you want to see more close-ups of flowers, click the icon to the right.

 

Himalayan Balsam

I have never found out the name for this flower,

 but it grows all along one of the streams

 that flow through Kanata.

 I love the way the sun flows through the petals!

Virgins Bower

Virgins Bower is a wild clematis

 found in the eastern half of Canada,

 and the USA from Georgia to Kansas.
