This time of year I can find all the high I want just standing on the back porch waiting for the dog. It is so green, the air is redolent with the scent of lilac bushes the size of a semi, and rings with the calls of dozens of arriving migrants....however, I don' think that is quite the high Ed is looking for, so here is a blossom high up in the winesap apple tree and a lowly dandelion lurking in the lawn. I threw in some of those lilacs too so maybe you could enjoy the whole experience.

Sunday Stills...High and Low
This time of year I can find all the high I want just standing on the back porch waiting for the dog. It is so green, the air is redolent with the scent of lilac bushes the size of a semi, and rings with the calls of dozens of arriving migrants....however, I don' think that is quite the high Ed is looking for, so here is a blossom high up in the winesap apple tree and a lowly dandelion lurking in the lawn.

Everywhere you look, something to take your breath away! Thanks for giving the Dandelion the photo treatment it deserves, revealing its astounding beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow just bursts out on the dandelion, great shot.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! My lilacs are just beginning to green up and I'm looking forward to that heavenly scent.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Your recipe sounds good from yesterday! The new bull looks nice, hope you get some nice calves and short horn bulls once in a while so I can buy them ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my word. So much beauty to be had. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
ReplyDeleteWw, Thanks, I can never resist them. A pest in the garden, so but so pretty and the critters sure do love to eat them
ReplyDeleteRG, thanks!
Linda, aren't they a delight! The scents of flowers roll out over the summer like a carpet of delight, maple trees first, then the lilacs...soon grapes, locusts, roses....ahhhhh....
Lisa, thanks! Wouldn't you know, Rose, my show shorty, came into season the day after we got him...and him not out of quarantine yet.
Cathy, thanks. I love this time of year! Although I am all-mightily sick of rain. Where are the peach sunrises and apricot sunsets that make the bookends for the sunny days? Which we aren't having either. Argghhh
I'm not sure what was going on, but when I tried to visit you on Sunday I kept getting told that your blog was private and I was not invited...=( I'm glad that I found my way in because these photos are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat Photos, really nice. What flower is the yellow one? I have one in my garden but i don`t know it name :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, Blogger was messed up last week. Glad you can get back on now. Thanks for your kind words
ReplyDeleteFormtie, thanks, it is a dandelion
