Producing content for this blog has forced me to look at things beyond what I normally do in my commercial business. Sometimes those things are very simple and very close to home and in this case, very abundant. Two images of dandelions in my yard. My wife calls them “little lanterns”.

Flowers

I am not normally a flower photographer, but this year has been beyond normal. A recent spell of hot weather has caused all of the blooming plants and trees in our area to blossom at the same time. Never in my memory have I seen so much happening at once. I have posted some images already on this blog of daffodils, dogwood, and plums. Add to that lilac, apples, money plant and wisteria among others, and our area has burst with bloom this year.

Easter Image

Flowers

In our area North Carolina, Easter is normally a time when nature blesses us with her blossoms. Dogwoods are one of those traditional offerings. This one blooms at my home in Grays Chapel.

Daffodils, a Study in Spring

Flowers

In North Carolina, one of the sure ways to know that Spring is upon us is when the daffodils start to pop up and bloom. Traditionally most farmhouses in our area always had a clump or two of these beautiful flowers in the front yard.
