Oh, the Colors!!

Well, this isn't really Spring (these were taken in Fall), so I've made a new thread. It's generic enough that if others want to chime in with pics, that's great too!

I call this collection, "bugs on a flower".
Heh! I just made that up now. I guess it works...although, I suppose it should be "insects" right?? hmm, oh well!





ok, just testing the attachment options. Suppose I could start using that now, which would be awesome. Save some time. Ok, testing. Thanks!

btw, the second photos are from an old phone camera, but still loved the colors.

 

Love the one with the bee!

 

yeah, that was a better camera and I had a bit more time to play around with the shots. Butterflies don't linger very long and that was an older phone camera....but the colors!!

 

adding some more

I'll add one

 

uploading some more! We actually had some Spring weather yesterday! Not sure if it stayed, but I'm enjoying these pics. (gonna try uploading them to Hip this time. let's see...)

Ooo! The pretty colors match the pretty HF background!!

 

Yeah, the bee rocks,

 

Mine won't open. Still stuck in the Ice Age. Or is it Stone Age

 

what do you mean won't open?? which one? yours or mine or what?? hmm sorry bout that.

 

Oh. haha! I thought you meant the picture wouldn't open up. rotflmao I gotcha now. Sounds nice. Magnolia tree. Actually, did I post that one yet?? (the local Magnolia tree??) Actually, I'm not sure what today's flower/tree is to be honest. Maybe that's Magnolia too?? But I had someone ID another photo. I'll have to dig that out again (might be the one that Imgur lost, so I might have already put it. haha oops! I forget. )

I should have included the pic. That would have helped. Im still new to this place.

I have 3 magnolia tree bushes like this that are still sticks with baby green buds . The late snow and ice i hope didn't put mine in jeopardy

 

Mine finally just opened yesterday.....
With sun and hot temps today made for a good pic.

 

So Pete, I was told these were Magnolias. Are they both?? Curious.

 

@fundoo

It looks like from your pics they are a type of magnolia. There are so many different kinds of magnolia. All are beautiful. Imo the prettiest spring time blooming tree/bush.

I'm pretty sure mine is a Chinese magnolia.... the wind blew the tree tag off years ago. The flower color and petal style resembles Chinese.

I'm sure we'll be able to figure out what type yours is.

 

Because we had such a long cold winter this year the Spring colors seem more vibrant.

My Lilacs and Dogwoods are in full bloom as the Forsythia fades away. Cuttings from the lilac put in a glass vase make for a great centerpiece, but the odor can sometimes be overwhelming

 

If i were a better photographer the house might be in focus. But i like the spring colors and i love a good field

 

^^^... I Wonder Whose Job It Is To Paint That Fence...???...
