today i was at the lab until 5 so peter picked up erik. i actually made it home before them by about ten minutes (traffic was a total clusterf*ck today for some reason) and when i pulled in the driveway i noticed that the phlox next to our driveway is in full bloom and the sun was shining beautifully on it. i thought "aha! i am going to run in and get my camera and macro lens (which i have been loving, btw - thanks peter!)!" so i did. i was amazed that peter and erik still weren't home, but i took advantage of the few quiet minutes and took some pictures of the things blooming around our tiny front yard. the tulips are starting to bloom (but have yet to fully open), but i didn't get any nice photos of them. here are a couple of the ones that turned out ok:
one tiny phlox blossom (in too much sun to be REALLY nice, but i still like it
dandelions are everywhere already(much more interesting BIG)
lilac blossoms from our neighbor's tree that encroaches on our driveway
vibrantly pink and wonderfully fragrant hyacinth
we had to do some grocery shopping this evening, and on the way home we saw yet another pretty sunset. the picture doesn't do it justice, but the sky was ablaze with brilliant pinks and oranges.
good night and TGIF!
