    Hi Cindy,
    You are so blessed to have so many flowers and lovelies up already! I have never seen a bird at that stage, poor little thing can't even see yet, and he has no feathers to protect him.
    Hugs, Cindy

    Hi Cindy,

    What gorgeous flowers! And a baby bird - how wonderful to see Spring arrive. We're green in the Dallas area, but not everything is blooming yet, but I can't wait!

    Thanks so much for visiting Lulu's and for becoming a follower. We get so excited with each new one!

    I'm looking forward to reading your blog and browsing through blogs that you follow.

    Thanks!

    Beautiful flowers. Sorry I can't say that about the bird. Amazing those animals start out life so ugly, yet grow into something so pretty and graceful.

    I enjoyed the stroll. Aren't you thrilled when you discover flowers blooming. I love to find the ones that grow from wind blown seed. They are like little extra special gifts to me.
    I enjoyed the home tour as well. We have a home in Eufaula AL and the homes there were recently on tour. I love how the town just comes alive.

    what lovely flowers you have. We once had a nest that we watched progress through the stages. Starting with the eggs, then the birds like this photo and then all of them with their mouths open waiting to be fed. Next came a little down before the feathers. And then boom, they were gone. It all took only about a week. Wonderful to watch and capture on prints.

    Cindy, these are just beautiful photos of your landscape. Your rhodies are wonderful -- I really miss having those in the yard, but they are not meant for the desert. LOL!! I loved your Plantation Home Tour. My, oh, my what breathtaking beauties. It makes you feel you should be strolling in a long dress with a lovely bonnet & umbrella. Thanks so much for sharing.
