The Spring morning sunlight has my yard popping with color
Please be sure to mouse over the photos to get the full effect — I love my theme but until the photos become active they are somewhat muted.

On clear mornings I enjoy watching the sun shine through the small bright leaves on this althea in my backyard.

I would have never planted this ornamental plum myself (it was here when I moved in), but I have grown to love the variety of colors that it can appear based on lighting, season and time of day.

What Texas Spring photo series would be complete without these. They may be used in photos a lot but the color really is beautiful.

These dianthus (pinks) overwinter well and bloom profusely season after season. They are an incredibly dependable source of color.

We planted this coral honeysuckle several years ago and every year it gets more full of blooms – with minimal care on our part.

Even Omar wanted to get in on the act and popped up on the yard cart for a little morning sun and meditation.
Lovely group of photos, lots of colour and a cat… yeah.
Hey thanks, I just got back from commenting on your post at the same time you were here.
Beautiful colours. My favourite is the new green leaf on the branch.
haha that cat at the end caught me off guard!
I really love nature and the flowers look really healthy! very crisp, very fresh
We have a fresh round of blooms and leaves after a hail storm last week.
My favorite is the blue flower, stunning! The award for most amusing is the cat. 🙂
I think bluebonnets (lupinus texensis) are a really wonderful shade of blue and cats have a way of getting your attention/and or inserting themselves very often. It’s a little hard to see but even his blue color pops a tiny bit.
Beautifully captured photography. I enjoyed this post….it refreshing!
