The thing I love the most about Spring is the beauty of the blooming fruit trees. I recently took my camera on a lunch run with me simply so I could take pictures of some of the beautiful blooms presenting in Manchester, New Hampshire. I wanted to share some of them with you. But here’s [...]

Belated Daffodils
I would love to understand plant biology a little better. I live on a main road. My section of the road is a little windy but there are no major hills or elevation changes. I can’t imagine the soil composition changes very much from one yard to the next. Yet I appear to have developmentally [...]

Flower Karma
In the Winter time I feed the wild birds with a generic bird seed mix. I enjoy watching the birds come by to eat but I also feel good that I’m helping them make it through the rough New Hampshire Winters. And now an unexpected result. I noticed a weed growing in my hydrangea bush [...]

Prescott Park Flowers
I really love Portsmouth New Hampshire. I go there from time to time to bring the pup to the Dog Park and to Pierce Island which has off-leash sections. But Saturday I didn’t bring the pup with me to Portsmouth. So I was able to do some things I wouldn’t normally have a chance to [...]

In-laws Garden – July Edition
So while I’m in Vermont helping out my nutty husband and Ben is home alone probably having a massive party, I figured I would fill the computer screen with pictures of flowers found in my in-laws’ garden during the month of July. I seriously don’t know why most of her stuff is flourishing while my [...]

Beach Roses
I have lived in states that border the Ocean for over 7 years now. And for many of those years I have visited beaches on a regular basis. From Maine to Cape Cod, I have always associated these flowers with the salt spray, the sound of waves and dogs and people running along the sand. [...]

Irises
Another pleasant surprise in my front garden after the daffodils these the big purple buds showed up. I was excited because I had been seeing big beautiful irises blooming everywhere in Southern New Hampshire. Mine seemed to bloom several weeks after my neighbours irises. Perhaps I just had a late blooming variety. Or maybe the [...]

Nature walk
One of the reasons I love New Hampshire is how close I feel to nature. We spend a lot of time hanging out in the woods. I love getting close ups of all sorts of different things. I actually wish I had a Macro lens for the Pentax *ist, but I make do with what [...]

The In-Laws' Garden
My mother-in-law has great flowers in her garden. They are a little more north than we are so they still have daffodils: Their lilacs are just starting to bloom: I don’t know what these are but they are pretty: I also don’t know what this is but I adore it: And my all time favorite, [...]

Flowers – Daffodils
I like flowers. They are pretty, they smell nice, they add colour. But I cannot eat (most) flowers, therefore I know nothing about them. I’m pretty sure I have a black thumb when it comes to flowers. For the most part flowers were left to my dad, the professional landscapers on the college campus and [...]
