More Spring Things; Flower, Tree and Sun Selfies!
What a week!!
Solar eclipse, spring bursting forth, and terrible winds! At least we didn’t lose our power here, but a large part of our city was without power…yesterday, with wind gusts to 50 mph…and still was that way Saturday afternoon. They got it back on late Saturday…at least it wasn’t too cold or hot.
 |
| This is the only full blossom of two daffs that came up this year. Not sure where all the others went, there used to be quite a few of them….sigh…. |
We were able to see the eclipse last Monday, we had those special glasses. It was clear so we had good viewing. We didn’t have totality here, but a good portion was obscured.
Petcretary put the glasses over her camera lens and got a few not too bad images…(she just used her phone…)
 |
| This was taken at the point when we had as nuch occlusion as we were going to have…it did get a bit dim, but there were still shadows, and all the birds kept singing… |
On Monday last week, our Weeping Cherry Tree was almost at its peak.
 |
| Look closely and you can see this butterfly’s proboscis! |
 |
| These butterflies are all over our tree….how do they manage to stay on in these windy conditions!! |
 |
| Thursday, probably the peak day of this year’s blossoming. Its full of butterflies and bees! |
 |
| Saturday…a lot of blossoms have blown off n the recent winds and rain… |
 |
| Look about 1/3 from the top, and find the butterfly! |
 |
| Maple Flowers, one of the causes of Petcretary’s allergies….Pollen! |
 |
We were hard to get close together…and even harder to both look at *her* at the same time, BOL!
Since this pic was taken last weekend, our grass has greened up a lot, and even got its first ‘haircut’ this past Tuesday. |

That weeping cherry is spectacular! The pollen though is NOT so spectacular right? LOL

Super pretty, pretty photos and you two look so wonderful! I missed the eclipse since I was in the hospital.
I’m sorry the daffodils didn’t come up, it looks like the weeping cherry (which is a new one to me) made up for it a bit.
Your eclipse photos are fascinating, we just got clouds and rain.
That’s a great selfie, or ussie!
LOVE the eclipse photos. So exciting as we didn’t see any of it down here. I’m not sure I’d swap your winds though!!!
Yay. I am IN again. it was Feedly Link that was broken. I removed from list and added the link you sent me and here we are. Yay for the grass getting a haircut and i am thinking some critter ate your yellow daffodils
