First, let's start off with a Happy Birthday to my mother.  Hope you have a great day!

Just thought I would share some photos I have taken of various flowers.  I have to say that my digital has a great macro setting.

Pink Hyacinths from my flower garden

Bluets in my front yard.  

I always love these delicate flowers, but once we cut the grass for the first time, they are gone...so I have them now forever in photos.

Red Trillium - Greenwood Falls

I took this on a picnic we had up at Greenwood Falls in the Adirondacks.  Kenny and I got married there in 2000, so it is a favorite spot of mine.  I was so excited to find this (I was using an Adirondack Nature Guide) and ran over to tell my husband.  That was when he chuckled and said "You found a Stinkpot!"  Oh well, it's a pretty looking flower.....

Baby Buckeye Tree

This isn't so much a flower, but I can't help but post it.  It is our three year old buckeye tree.  If anyone is familiar with the Flower Memorial Library, as you are facing it, at the right front corner is a large, old buckeye tree. Here's a photo of it. It's the larger on in the front (not the best photo, sorry)......

Well, a few years ago I pick up a few of the buckeyes to plant in my yard and to keep for good luck.  Out of the three I planted, one came up and it looks great.  Last year it had a run in with tent caterpillars so hopefully it will keep it's leaves this year. 

It's cute, no?
