I think I used to hear much better, lol, because I remember it to be much louder...easily an alarm clock!<BR/><BR/>But maybe because it is so early for us here, the birds haven't started their full rousing call. Or maybe I'm going just a little deaf,lol!<BR/><BR/>Even the old folks around here are commenting how different the weather is now than years ago.

You're ahead of me, for sure...the Red Bud tree in my garden is just showing its little red buds. <BR/><BR/>Tulips are starting to show buds against the South wall of the house. Daffs are everywhere. But Azaleas will be awhile yet...they like it warmer. <BR/><BR/>Something like 80 degrees...lol.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-55980442688954816212007-03-13T23:48:00.000-07:002007-03-13T23:48:00.000-07:00Nice shots Marion, you must tell us about the came...Nice shots Marion, you must tell us about the camera. Your house and garden look great, I like your porch overlooking the garden. We are having some warm weather here too with very high temperatures for the time of year. But then these climate changes are now the norm, but its strange how we all refer back to what the weather was like years ago. <BR/>Spring has sprung and the grass has riz................the dawn chorus is back too, much nicer than an alarm clock.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-16976830382043862002007-03-13T05:33:00.000-07:002007-03-13T05:33:00.000-07:00Spring, the promise of new life.

The sun warms us just a little more as we brush off the winter's webbing. Ah how I love spring. I too love what you did with your camera (your 3rd eye). click! or should I say Wink?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10571464333419314695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-56490444126942480612007-03-12T18:42:00.000-07:002007-03-12T18:42:00.000-07:00Thanks for the gardening lesson Marion.

Spring is early and each day brings more irises, pear and red bud trees. Tulips, daffodils, the lovely azaleas. I'll have to post some of what spring is like here.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-51825040189750348712007-03-12T11:56:00.000-07:002007-03-12T11:56:00.000-07:00Jackie, I am still fiddling with the camera, and s...Jackie, I am still fiddling with the camera, and some shots turned out less than sharp. The photo which I think you are referring to are miniature daffodils, just beginning to open.<BR/><BR/>I think it was Sheila that had pictures of Snowdrops on her blog. They bloom really early, in little pockets here and there, very pretty white little blossoms.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-80773289364169081252007-03-12T11:53:00.000-07:002007-03-12T11:53:00.000-07:00This is my home, Sheila.

Slugs seem to like the leaves, so I plant some in pots. Then I just give them water and fish fertilizer. And I take the dead blossoms off. Oh, and give them shade in the hottest part of the summer, they will die back in the latter part of Spring, and come back when cooler weather comes again.<BR/><BR/>They seem to like the treatment, blooming year after year!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-80077514144713765082007-03-12T11:16:00.000-07:002007-03-12T11:16:00.000-07:00I use the camera with intuition, and using my thir...I use the camera with intuition, and using my third eye...the lens sees a slightly different viewpoint than the naked eye.<BR/><BR/>Try seeing beyond what seems to be there.

I took mine along today as I picked up a few plants. I have Spring Fever. Were those your primroses? If so, how do you care for them? I bought a pot a couple of weeks ago for the first time and haven't an idea how to keep them pretty.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-267152365585040272007-03-09T19:00:00.000-08:002007-03-09T19:00:00.000-08:00You have a talent with a camera that I envy.
