As I was looking around our massive, moss-covered rock area of our property, I noticed a flash of red. I thought I could just walk forward and turn around, but when I did, I couldn't see the red thing anymore. So I carefully backed up until I was in the same spot, and looked again very carefully. FLASH! There it was! I knelt down to take a closer look, and growing in a bed of drying moss was this pretty little sprout, complete with a pair of bright red leaves at the base! (Is that you waving at me, Lisa?! ) I wonder what this plant will become?! :)

Here's another Flamingo image that I thought turned out nicely. They are amazing birds, aren't they?!

Here's one of the pictures I took just outside the house this morning! Our roses are starting to bloom and this droplet-covered leaf really caught my attention!

This morning I planned to cross our smaller meadow and look in our lower forest for flowers growing there, but I didn't get that far. On our gravel driveway we have tiny daisies that bloom every May and June, oblivious to the fact that it's dry as a bone there with zero nutrient to sustain anything. Up they pop, and this is one of the very first this year!
