Oops, I sure wasn't paying attention when I posted my last photo, eh?! Thanks for the heads-up, Alli!

OK, so let's try this again:

A lovely new photo and a lovely new avatar......

Glorious golden gorgeousness to feast our eyes on, suggesting the promise of spring.

Yes, I love tulips.....but, I ah, adore....that other yellow source of pure happiness and utter joy that flowers at this time of year.

Tulips don't normally put in an appearance with us until around April (whereas the daffodils are just coming into bloom.....joy.)

This tulip, along with its nine brethren, called out to me from the flower section when I was at the grocery store yesterday.....and how could I resist those sweet yellow heads ready to open into full bloom? Beautiful shade of yellow, a breath of Springtime here in the house even as I wait for our daffodils to pop out -- hopefully later this month -- and the tulips to arrive some time in late April or early May,. depending on how the weather has been. Next to orange, yellow is my favorite color, so just as the daffodils do, the tulips make me happy and smiling.....

Irresistible, agreed.

And I also agree re both yellow and orange (and terracotta, apricot, peach......I love all of those colours, as did my mother).

I'm on a roll with these tulips! They're a lot hardier than the bunch of small daffodils I had a while back.... Anyway, another look at a tulip:

All great shots, it's that time of the year again isn't it? Love seeing the spring shots!

Thanks! I am watching the green stalks outside the front of my building slowly growing larger and longer as they progress toward becoming daffodils! In the meantime I've had a lot of fun with these tulips..... Definitely they area hint of wonderful spring flowers to come!

I’m at Saddleback ski area in Rangeley, Maine for a few days. Incredible area with perfect sun yesterday.

I wish I could see this in person but I thought it was so cool. a pretty cool mushroom.

Lovely shots everyone! Looking forward to seeing more!

But is it really March 20201 already? I guess it still can still be pronounced as “twenty twenty one”. Never mind. Works for me.

Looks like somebody dropped an egg in your garden…

fried egg with course black pepper. I guess the white part is edible the yellow too tough.

Interesting looking mushroom! I gather that since you say you didn't see this in person, that you didn't take this photo?
