Ruby Tuesday

Well, it's Ruby Tuesday (hosted by Mary/the Teach at Work of the Poet) and not just any Ruby Tuesday, the 1st Anniversary of Ruby Tuesday. Congratulations, Mary. I'm late posting, partly, I guess because I'm not too thrilled with any of my photos today. I really have to do something about the dirty windows. Everything is seen through glass AND a film of dirt. And there are a bunch of photos I missed. The hummingbird keeps coming close and I keep missing it. The rest is mostly reddish leaves, reddish grass, reddish... Sigh.

See the hummingbird?

Happy Tuesday
and
Happy Ruby Tuesday 1st Anniversary!

Shadow Shot Sunday

Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday is celebrating it's 1st birthday so I'm glad that I have managed to get my act sort of together. As usual, I'm posting too many photos. As you can see, my lawn has needed mowing. It had gotten so tall that I couldn't see the birds while they were hopping around snacking on worms and other bird treats. Made for some cool shadows, though.

Happy Sunday!

And Congrats to Hey Harriet on One Year of Shadow Shots

Shadow Shot Sunday

It's been quite a while since I participated in Hey Harriet's Shadow Shot Sunday and I've missed it. Since I last posted a month ago, robins, crows and grackles have been building nests, Spring has greened the grass, the daffodils have come up, the forsythia and my flowering quince are full of blossoms. The mountains are still biding their time getting their green robes on, but they did offer a few shadows. Anyway, I've taken lots and lots of pictures after the doldrums of a very long winter. What I lack in quality, I make up for in quantity.

Sorry my windows are so yucky dirty, but she's too darned cute not
to post. Tara Grace has been camera shy so alas
I have no pictures of her this go-around.

HAPPY SUNDAY!

Ruby Tuesday: Reddish Hints of Spring

Ruby Tuesday - hosted by Mary/the Teach at Work of the Poet - is here again.

It has has been mostly dreary and chilly here still. Not feeling much like Spring. But no matter what the temperature and the skies are saying, the snow in my back yard is gone and the bushes and trees are showing knobs and flowers. Winter may be waging a more stubborn than usual attempt to stick around, but Spring will not be thwarted. These are mostly probably more in the pink and orange vein than truly red. But I'm posting them anyway. They attest to SPRING! Yeeee haaa!! Whoopee!!
