Greetings fellow plant lovers and gardeners!!You may have noticed my new blog look thanks to my friend Linda at Life and Linda who transforms my blogs for me! I give her an idea and she waves her magic wand and gives me what I asked for! She's been busy transforming several blogs in the past few months and has a link at the top of her page you can see them at. I recommend her not only because I think she's talented, but because she does it for a super reasonable price!
I know we all are fed up with winter (at least those of us still blanketed in the white stuff!) We are experiencing some nice warmish weather (40's) which means "hooray" the snow is melting! I'm an early riser- I love it when I catch the sunrise. A beautiful glow appeared and I snapped off a few shots. I think this qualifies as a "blue hour" photo. That Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun" always pops in my head (fairly frequently)!
I love the pretty colors in the sky. Truly like a rainbow! Amber, pinks, purples, and blues!
I kept the camera around hoping for some nice sunshine to highlight my flowers that have just appeared this week on the Christmas Cactus.
I guess rest of the day will be warm but not sunny... perhaps it will dot in and out? No complaints from me though... We have had a sun filled week and it puts everyone in a good mood.
Ah yes I did catch this a couple of days ago while having my morning coffee. These tulips were nearly a week old and pretty much past their peak but I had to snap off a shot when the sun came beaming in! (Not bad for a cell phone picture!) I can hardly wait to see my own tulips popping up but that will probably be another month before that happens! I also can't wait to wash my windows! After a long winter the windows sure get dirty!

ReplyDeleteHi Liz, Thank you for stopping in for a visit. Your header is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Liz
ReplyDeleteI have your other blog in my blog roll, but am going to add this one as well, especially with gardening season coming (May, here). Your sunrise photos as striking; what a view you get each day. I'll have to remember the term "blue hour" as I don't recall hearing it before.
As for the Christmas cactus, I'm going to have a word with mine now; it's huge and not a bloom in sight. I love the way your tulips glow in the light.
Thanks for joining in and sharing shots from your home.

Your blue photo is just stunning. Tulips with sun on them - one of the best.
ReplyDeleteLoved the tulips.
ReplyDeleteStopping over from Sunlit Sunday! Beautiful light coming through those trees!
ReplyDeleteoh your tulip look so pretty! I had some in our new house but the heat wasn't working properly yet and they never really opened. I am going to have to get some more because yours look so pretty
ReplyDeleteI love your blue hour shot, and the tulips are gorgeous in the morning sun and oh yes "here comes the sun" :)

Hi Liz, your blue hour sunrise photos are absolutely gorgeous! Wow. I've never captured the blue hour in the morning before. Maybe your Christmas cactus is and Easter one. :) Your tulip photo is beautiful. Cell phone cameras are really good these days aren't they. I hope you have a great week. Pamela
