A male Black Headed Grosbeak at my feeder; I've seen a female, too, so hopefully they'll have babies.
I caught Lucy trying to sneak a sip of my tea. She likes it because I put milk in it, so I have to be alert! This attempt didn't work for her, happily for me.
I just stopped and stared for a minute at this dogwood tree in Lake Arrowhead village before I thought to take a photo. I've never seen a dogwood tree so loaded with blossoms, let alone a pink one with so many flowers!
Lake Gregory was looking pretty on a day last week.
I let these roses dry in the vase. I thought they looked sort of vintage, so I photographed them by my mother's 88 year old recipe box. It's full of recipes in her handwriting and my sister's handwriting. Both are in heaven now, so it's one of my most treasured things.

That's a cool photo of your mom's recipe box and the drying roses. I like it when roses dry intact.I don't think I've ever seen a dogwood tree in person. The one you met is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSpring IS here, isn't it! Lovely photos. And thanks so much for coming by to see me at Marmelade Gypsy! Enjoy the day.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos. I love the dogwood tree, it's gorgeous. Your mom's recipe box is priceless. It must make you happy when you see her and your sister's handwriting.

Dear Victoria - I always enjoy my visit to your beautiful corner of the world. You captured lovely moments of beauty. That dogwood is just stunning. Lucy made me smile - she is certainly adorable. Have a great week friend. Hugs!
