Spring Surprises
I love spring. This year, I've been remembering to bring my camera along when I go out, even around my yard. I think I'm getting better at seeing things and taking pictures. The colors are so amazingly saturated. I love the fuzziness of some of the leaves and buds. I'm having fun discovering surprises, like the leaves in the wetlands and an unknown flower in my shade garden. I hope I can internalize some of what I see to make my art better. Here's a selection of pictures from the last few days.
Saucer magnolia:
Grape hyacinth amid the emerging poppy leaves (I think the squirrels planted these):
Budding pussy willows (I had no clue they were so colorful before they turned soft and fluffy!):
Cool patterned leaves amid the skunk cabbage (who knew?):
The mystery flower in my shade garden. Any idea what this is?

I wonder too what that mystery flower is. But, I LOVE your pussy willows...how the heck did you get those. I absolutely adore them. Are they a perennial? Anyway, I am certain you will get some solid inspiration from these beautiful and natural wonders.
