First Spring Flower

Happy, happy Spring!! First spring bloom!! Yay! It's a wee-little babe....a fresh, young Crocus flower. I discovered her yesterday while out wandering my yard with my pups.

I 'sprinted' back to photograph her once I brought my pups back inside. She was trying so hard to duck down from the slight drizzle. I bent down and reassured her it was fine, not to be afraid, others will sprout from the Earth and join her very soon. She then stood tall, braving the rain, encouraged that she wouldn't be alone for long. I quickly captured a photo of her and 'sprinted' back to my home. Only to get to my driveway, where I heard a "cough" from my newest next door neighbor, who was on her front porch. I glanced at her quickly, and giggled to myself as I imagined what she was thinking at that moment.

"I have the strangest neighbors. The husband walks their massive, wolfy-looking, what they call "pups" at insane hours of the day & night; and the wife 'frolics' through the yard talking to plants & trees, and woodland critters, at all hours. Strange, strange people they are."

My cellphone camera stinks, I should have "sprinted" with my real camera, ugh. Nonetheless, at least I captured a photo of my yard's first spring flower of 2014. Yay!!

Again, happy, happy Spring everyone!!
