Spring has sprung!

Well, spring has sprung in our neck of the wood! I didn't cook today--spring fever! Instead I got out the camera for a little creative spree.

We had a doozy of a spring storm this morning, thunder, pouring rain, hail, the works. When it all blew over, I couldn't resist taking some pictures of the flowers that survived the storm.



My husband's favorite flower.



Azaleas are the flower du jour right now. They really are a spectacular sight in their full glory.





I loved the water dripping off the leaves of our sago palm.



Our silver leaf bushes that screen my bedroom window.





A fern on the front porch.



Our loquat tree isn't producing as much as last year, but we're stil getting some nice fruit.
