It's so nice to see flowers again! I suppose, overall, this wasn't a bad winter. Not as compared with 2014 and 2015. It was the cold mostly that got to me. However, this is also the time of year where I still have a space heater running in the bathroom, but the a/c on in the bedroom and fan in livingroom.
Rose of sharon on the side of the house.
Hyacinth
Japanese andromeda.
A woolly bear making his way across the lawn. I've seen a couple of them. I thought they only came out in fall but they also come out in spring so they can turn into moths. It's kind of ironic that I think the caterpillar is so fuzzy and adorable, but I won't hesitate to kill the moth that it turns into if it gets in my house.
We had a super warm day that turned into an even warmer night on April 29. The air was so velvety and the moon and stars were so bright.
I was messing around with exposure times and I like this one with the rainbow reflection on the left.
It was hard to get a decent pic that showed the dark part without overexposing the crescent.
The very next day dawned sunny and cool, but by 3:00 pm, the temperature had dropped significantly and the clouds rolled in.
We'll be back up to warmer temps in no time though.
