May Bloom Day

My first Bloom Day posting. Here is what has just started to bloom in the garden this week.

I also had one yellow iris in my pond blooming but my camera couldn't focus on it. Next time.

Bird Sighting

I think I saw an indigo bunting today as I was leaving. It was on the driveway and flew into a tree. I'm fairly certain it wasn't a bluebird because it was too small. I'd love to have had my binoculars to verify it, but not the case. I'll have to watch for it as I walk the driveway in the months to come.

Buds

We have had a week or more of rain. The garden is growing but some of the flowers are waiting for sunlight to open.

Irises not fully opened.

Clematis waiting for a sunny day.

Knockout rose bud.

The lilies of the valley have always liked the moisture.

The glen is in full leaf with that new leaf green color that only lasts for a short time. It's the color Sarah selected for her bedroom, too.

Grosbeak Visit

So my new camera only has 4x optical zoom while the Fugi had 6x. This picture isn't as close as it looks. I cropped the original to make them bigger.
