Back Yard Beauties!

Our backyard in Spring has bright spots of color. The first photo is the azalea that lives on the sunny side of the garage/sun room. So saturated with color it was hard for me to photograph.

Next the Vinca. I love this ground cover.. it blooms over and over.

The Daphne lives close to the Vinca.. its just coming into full bloom.

Finally the Hyacinths against the beautifully neutral bark of the Mountain Ash trees.

Brooklyn Botanical Garden's Spring Flowers

One of the first days of really nice weather in Brooklyn this year. We were lucky to be there to attend our nephew's bar mitzvah. Such fun and a gorgeous day!
 
The magnolia was just gorgeous against the blue sky and barely blooming trees in the background. I think just about everyone in Brooklyn was there!
 
I call these Daffodils. Never was sure when to use other names like narcissus... I never saw the labels that matched these.. Still very pretty and fields of them all over. Love Spring!
