The smell of spring wafts in the wind. 
Here are a few of the aromatic blossoms in our gardens. 
Enjoy your day!

Flowers On A Sunny Day 12 comments
After all the much-needed rain, we have a sunny day! Brightly colored flowers are finally in bloom in our gardens.
Barely visible is a tiny spider hiding from my camera.
Enjoy your day!
Bright Green Cocoon: Crab Spider 8 comments
It seems cocoons are in season. 
I notice a bright green cocoon on the back of a dead plumeria leaf. 
In October I took the only picture I have of a crab spider. I wish the details of the spider herself were more visible.
Enjoy your day!
Vapourer Moth: A Bright Male Caterpillar 28 comments
Yesterday I saw my first vapourer male moth hanging out on a rose-bush.
I think this is the ‘peacock’ of all male caterpillars that I have seen in my life to date.
A warning about the pretty vapourer moth is do not touch to your skin. The hairs can cause mild irritation to most people.
Nature never fails to amaze me.
Enjoy your day!
August Outdoors 6 comments
August is one of my favorite months. The subtle changes from summer to fall seem to happen over night this year.
All the rain has made for neat fungi photos.
The mushroom aged over night. 
I planted this swamp chestnut oak four years ago to find these pretty fellas enjoying a leafy lunch.
The tree will survive the leaf-eating freaks. I wonder what pretty flying creatures morph from the pic above into the next phase of its life journey?
My new plant try of this year is the goji berry plant/bush/vine. I am impressed with the ease of care and taste of fruit.
Enjoy your day!
Sweet Plumeria 4 comments
I have been waiting for three and a half years for to see my plumeria tree blossom!
I bought a couple of plumeria tree cutting and five plumeria seeds back from a trip to Oahu in March 2009. Only one seed grew into a tree. The same with the tree cuttings.
I think both trees will flower this year.
Enjoy your day!

So many photos with not enough time to capture each.
The produce from the garden makes me smile. I love the green bean with purple stripes! A little bean cross-pollination happened.
Enjoy your day!

Blueberries are in high demand among all us around the patch.
Our butterfly bush is a favorite plant in the yard.

I love our garden. Our second planting of green beans and potatoes are popping out of the ground.
People say that rhubarb will not grow here due to the lack of a cold winter. I will hope for the best! 
The first tomato must have grown overnight. 
Now for some flowers and critter pics. 
I think I scared this fella. 
The rescued dwarf Japanese maple continues to amaze us. I am so glad we saved this 34-year-old tree.
One of my favorite trees is our young rescue tulip poplar. 
Can you find the butterfly? 
Enjoy your day!
