Miscelanious Shots #2 for 2011

Then the second fuchsia that I have overwintered started to bloom too...

It's loaded with more buds too ^_^

Then the Petunia that overwintered well decided to bloom this week also :)

I believe someone upstairs was trying to lift my spirits before M.N. dumped on me today because this was blooming this morning....

Pretty blooms, Celeste. Did you get a lot of snow? MA was dumping on us last night, but sometime during the night it changed to rain, so there's very little of the white stuff out there now. Hopefully it will just be rain throughout the rest of the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be fairly nice. Temps in low 50's, partly cloudy.

It's snowing very hard at this moment....we have another 18 hours to go before it's done:(

Ugh.

Thanks, everyone. That is the same granddaughter as pictured in the brochure.

Lovely indoor flowers, Pixie! See, God does love you! He's sending the snow to prove it.

The flowers do put a smile on your face....just don't look outside....what a terrible storm!

ooohh love all the blooms Celeste!!!

Nice series. Shows what they have to go through.

Very tough to be a soldier there.....

Yes.

Very tough to be a soldier, period! I do feel for those men and women out there, and certainly have a lot of respect for them. Imagine being the photographer out on the front lines taking those pics. Those are some excellent photos, too.

Celeste, sorry to hear you are getting so much snow. Don't think I would want to live in Maine.

Another cool time-lapse. So much more effective when the camera is moved between shots.

That's beautiful, Victor. Sounds like it took a lot of time and effort to make it.

Karen

Yes it does. Nice to have music with it.

Love that you can see the stars "moving".....easier to see in a big sky country.....

Very, very cool!!!

From the other day after the rain(duh! do I even have to say that???)

Nice rainbow. Horrible cookie-cutter suburban monstrosity.

Great rainbow!

Woodcock has been hanging out by the side of the house all week.

This guy has been sitting on my telephone pole almost everyday.


Peregrine Falcon

He's a very handsome dude but....

Ya, 55 and older community across the street at least they're in bed by 9pm and they have no wild parties

He may tapping your line, Celeste!

This pic is for Bill :)

LOL Victor! CIA, FBI...like the hummers?

Pretty rainbow, Jan.

Cool, Celeste. I never see either of those birds in my neck of the woods.

Karen

Yes, can't trust those dang birds anymore!
