Shadow Shot Sunday

Wandering around Rome's Trastevere 
neighborhood on a sunny spring day—
bougainvillea (and shadows) everywhere.

When most of the tulips in the garden
were fading fast, some cultivars
were still going strong—including these
ruffly red and cream beauties.

Thursday Challenge—"close" (#2)

Up close and personal with the tree
peonies in bloom now at the botanic garden.
They blow me away every year!

ABC Wednesday—P is for "people"

and also for "pink."  All these folks were at the
botanic garden this past weekend —and
this was shortly before closing time.  One of my
kids remarked that Brooklyn is getting
to be a bit too popular.

ABC Wednesday—N is for "narcissus"

The show is just beginning.
In the next month or so, there will
be lots and lots of these, plus tulips, lilacs, 
hyacinths . . . and the flowering
trees have already begun to burst into bloom.
Don't you love spring?
