Foggy Morning Adventures

You may notice I am having trouble getting the Font to appear in the right place , well, I haven't posted in quite some time and it seems they have made some changes in the
method of arranging the font either "Alligned Left" or "Allign Center", or it could be just me...lol

 As Usual, you can click on the Photographs to enlarge for a better view.

Yesterday dawned foggy and wet, so I took the camera out to try and capture some  fog shots, and because the light was just right for shooting flowers etc. I decided to take a few photographs of some of the 200 Tulips that I planted early this fall that are now up and blooming. 


Just across the road a shot of the fog over the field.


                                      A Glorious Sunrise in the making in the South East.

                                                                South East Sunrise.

                   Sunrise in the North East..with a Jet trail illuminated by the rising Sun.

 Morning Purple..In the foreground is White Sage growing, and to the left is Yarrow, in background is the Purple ( Miniature Grape Hyacinths ? )..not sure of the name.


 A very friendly Robin just a few feet away from me exploring the wet grass for breakfast.

 Yes, He was just as curious about me as I was to Him..stopping to take a good look at me.


                       Just a few shots now of some of the new arrivals in the tulip bed.

                                                Striped glory...what a beautiful Tulip.

                                    One nearly finished Blooming Tulip and a new arrival.

                                                             Lovely Orange bloom.

                                                             Pink..what a soft color.

                                                              Another Pink Bloom.

                                                                          More Pink.

                                                                   Pale but lovely.
