Pics of Spring in N. Texas:

[Haole Girl]

This was a worm, or caterpillar, hanging down from a tree
(after I cropped the pic, it took my husband longer than it took me to see something else in the pic! lol)


















Amazingly, there are some plums that survived, from the late snow of Mar. 6th!


Here are two little survivors. Though, last year the birds ate every plum that ripened!

1. My dear KC2!

I must say that your photographic skills are wonderful...

These are stunning!

How good that you caught the pelican in flight!

The flowers are all wonderfully beautiful, and I love the mama duck and her brood!

Really, all of them are first rate!

I'm starting to feel threatened, lol!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

2. Thank you very much, Peggy!

But, really... how would you feel threatened? lol :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Because your pics are so damn good, is how, silly!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

4. Well...

Thank you, but I am no threat to you, dearest Peggy. Time for bed. G'night! :hi: :hug:

5. a few more

[Haole Girl]

11. Very nice, thank you!

I want to get a spider web shot, but haven't had my camera with me whenever I see one.

Just curious about the kind of rock near that one blue bonnet pic... the one in the background looks almost like petrified wood. Or, is it pipe stone... do you know? Thanks for sharing! :hi:

[ashling]

18. That is my favorite bluebonnet pic

I took it at our place in Llano County a couple of years ago. I love the single bluebonnet and the rich colors of the rock. The wood in the background is an old about 6 x 6 wood beam that was laid to define the top of a culvert probably 50 years ago or more. It is obviously weathered and has a very intriguing look. I like the way you can't really tell if it is rock or woo, or petrified wood.

[Haole Girl]

19. Thanks for answering that

It really did resemble petrified wood!

I really like that pic, btw, if I didn't tell you. :-) :hi:

[ashling]

25. Thanks

:hi:

6. i like the ducks

good pics. There's something about ducks i like......they are so mellow and friendly, especially if you happen to have a loaf of bread.

[Haole Girl]

12. I like ducks, too

:hi:

7. my spring in North Texas pics

I took this Thursday - my neighbor's car, which she has had for three weeks


She should have parked in the car port - oh wait :o

[Haole Girl]

14. Ouch! Only three weeks... what bad luck!

There was some evidence, at the park, of the recent storm too.
Here are some pics where the trail was blocked by fallen trees:



It truly was a powerful storm




We were very lucky. We only lost some lemon blossoms in our backyard,
and lost electricity for about 12 hours. It could have been much worse.

8. ::sighs::

I love Texas in the spring! Especially the hill country area. I'm going to miss it so much when I move away in August :(

[Haole Girl]

15. Now you have me curious...

I hope you are moving to some place with milder winters and more liberal minds! :hi:

[Jennos20]

17. Not Quite

It doesn't get more mild than the rio grande vally :) I'm moving to London, England for school..It's gonna be cold!

[Haole Girl]

20. Brrr!!

You will have to drink a lot of tea to stay warm!!
:scared:

[Jennos20]

9. Double Entry!

Whoops!

[petronius]

10. Very nice! So, is that the tree behind the caterpillar?

(Because if it's what it looks like, I am extremely disappointed in your focusing choices. ;))

[NMDemDist2]

13. ROFL

that is no tree IMO

although it may have the potential to be woody :evilgrin:

:rofl:

[Haole Girl]

16. Thank you

And, yes, it is a tree in the background! lol I probably should have cropped the pic differently... but I couldn't resist. It really does remind me of a painting I saw once (the image of the torso)... don't ask which painting or where I saw it, because I don't remember! :D :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

21. Gorgeous photos

Hope the frost does not nail your flowers.

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

23. Thank you

I should go out and cover up the lemon tree... most of those other flowers were taken elsewhere! :hi:

[Nevernose]

22. Birds really like plums, don't they?

We had plum trees for 15 years here in Vegas -- great for fruit, if you water -- and the birds savaged them yearly. Apricots and pomegranates we grew sick of, but plums? I can't remember the last time I had one.

[Haole Girl]

24. I wonder how the growers keep the birds away?

hmm...

I probably don't even want to know! :hi:

[Nevernose]

26. Ninjas. Or angry monkeys.

Either way I'm fine.
