We finally had two nice days in a row! I played hooky from work, something I rarely do but I felt the need to improve my Karma :). We have not been that busy at work so I am sure no one minded much.
Sharing more bluebell pictures, I know they are just a common every day flower but they are one of my favorites, they were one of the first flowers I could name as a child. We picked them every May for our May alters ( a Catholic thing). I no longer do May alters (or Catholism for that matter) but I still love bluebells! Looking at all of my pictures I think I must love the blue sky of Iowa more than anything. I can not imagine living any place where there was no sun or blue skies.
The Baltimore Orioles are back, I saw my first one Saturday AM, it was freezing cold and raining, I immediately put out some grape jelly they have been eating it ever since. I also saw a hummingbird, I put the hummingbird feeder out but I have not seen another one. Maybe this year will be the year I get a good photo of the Oriole against the blue sky!

Hi IGW ... lovely shots of the Bluebells! I, too, have adored them since I was a kid and we're slowly getting them established in our Woodland Garden but always want more! They're truly little garden treasures, and alas they don't stick around for long ...
I like bluebells too. I see them in the woods around here, so they must be able to grow here. I will have to try they out.
Don't you just love spring in Iowa!!
Wow. I love the perspective on the second flower. Gorgeous.
I saw an oriole in my backyard this weekend too!! And I have *never* seen an oriole in town before! I was jazzed. No hummingbirds here yet either.
