Short post with picture

I see that the last time I posted was Friday the 13th. Can't really call it a jinx that I haven't posted since then. There's just been nice weather, yard work, and not as much time in front of the computer.

Nothing major to report, except of course, that my sister, Bucky, got a job! We have to readjust our General Hospital watching, but hey, not important. I'm so happy for her that she's working in a field that appeals to her.

So, since I have nothing exciting to talk about, I'll leave you this evening with a sunset picture.

Peonies '08

Well, surprise, surprise, I have more pictures of flowers from my garden. I think there are more blossoms this year than there were last year. But I was lucky enough last Saturday morning to get pictures with good rain droplets on them.

Here's a crop. This one is on my desktop right now. If you click on these and choose All Sizes, they really are much cooler in the large size.

Tiptoe through the...

All of the tulips in my yard are done now. I've been procrastinating posting the pictures because I thought I hadn't uploaded them to Flickr yet. Pretty lame excuse, I know. Even more lame because, duh, I did have them uploaded. So here are some of them that I'd like to share.

This was at the beginning of the tulips in my yard.

The sun was a bit bright here.

I love the colors in this one.

These were hard to photograph because they were almost a black color.

You're getting three pictures of the inside of this color tulip. I couldn't believe how delicate it was.

Also because I caught this little guy at work. He looks cool in the large size.

Too much paparazzi for him. He's leaving.
