Babysitting Conehead (a.k.a. the dog)
Goblin is recovering well from his surgery, but he's not allowed to climb stairs, run, jump, or do any other activity that dogs like to do. He can't even chew a bone because he can't reach around the giant satellite dish he's wearing to prevent him from licking his wound. Needless to say, he's one bored dog.
Since the weather was so beautiful this morning, I sat outside with him so he could take in the scenery and catch some rays. While Goblin relaxed in the sun I wandered about the yard, taking pictures. Oh, the glory of spring! I challenged myself to take pictures from all angles, as an exercise in perspective. It was fun, though lying atop fallen holly leaves was not. I did realize (again) that I'm not the best gardener. For example, does anyone recognize the flower in the last photo? It has the most wonderful checkerboard-like pattern. I know I planted it, but for the life of me, I haven't a clue what it is. Do you?

Glorious spring! Just love it... I need to get out and take more pictures, too.
glad Goby is feeling better!
Another name for your fritillary is Guinea hen flower....There are tons of different fritillaries and are under planted in my book...Fritillaria imperialis, imperial fritillary is fantastic! My little Persian fritilaries are on the way out.
Love it!
