Macro Monday 2 - Blossoms

I found several blossoms on my walks this week. The lilacs are just starting open up. It seems early for them to be blooming.  I did not detect their fragrance so I will have to check back later.










This is a white Zinnia on a wreath placed at the Grant Notley Park’s Broken Families Obelisk during a memorial service for the annual Day of Mourning held April 28th.

This is an bud of a flower I found on my walk the other day.  There was one partially open.  After doing some research I think it is a Clematis.

The community garden has a plot with these tulips and daffodils in full bloom. It was a real delight to see them.

Sharing these at Macro Monday 2.

Mosaic Monday - Spring Snow

We had snow this week.  Wet and heavy which broke branches on trees.  On my walk Thursday I hear wood chippers in several areas.  We had one break in our side yard and the chipper was there early Thursday.  The arborist indicates that the wound should heal and the tree likely will survive. 
The daffodils were weighed down.
The purple pasque flower seemed to be faring better.  I love the way I captured the fuzziness on the petals of this flower.
The pigeons seem well fed.  I liked the way I had touches of green in this shot including the bird.
