Photos of Spring – Tulips and Daffodils in New Hampshire

So we are all thrilled that the warm weather has arrived. We are not as happy about the lack of rain, but this next week will hopefully bring relief to the dry and dusty yards and gardens.
I’ve been photographing the plantings at my new house and these orange and white tulips were a nice little surprise for me.

I think that everyone takes their plants outside, if they have a porch or deck, once the weather warms up so the poor things can get a taste of sunshine! I know that my plants look very happy out there.

I planted the tulips and some are coming up nicely but others are looking a bit funny. This red one doesn’t seem quite right, but the color is stupendous! Sorry, the photo is a bit blurry, but I just love that color.

I finally got the hose hooked up so I could give these babies some water. It’s as dry as a bone around these parts. I guess I planted all the peach ones together. Who can remember from last Fall..?

As you can see, my front yard has almost no grass. I will have a lot of gardening work and landscaping to do this year.

Sharing My Photos of Winter White

Short and sweet post today to show off my favorite snow, white, and winter pictures.

I took these myself over the past years and they were all taken at different addresses, back when I lived like a nomad. I’m so glad those days are over, but it gave me the opportunity to check out parts of the state I would not have ever known so well. Some I am glad to be away from, and others I miss.

And I miss my cat, Richie. That picture was taken at my last rental on the back porch. I couldn’t believe the cat stayed outside while the snow covered him, but he was a hunter and couldn’t tear himself away. It made a cool photo.

Waiting for the Flowers

Next door the crocus are blooming although the yard is mostly still full of snow. These are the first little signs of warmth that give us assurance that winter won’t last forever.

I am looking forward to the hydrangea shrubs blooming, since my business depends upon my floral photography, but that will be a while.
Summers are short here in the northeast so we make the best of them.
