Our World Tuesday: This and that


My neighbor Gamma likes to rub against my legs.

She also sits on top of my daffodils.

It's definitely one of the earliest springs in terms of what's blooming in my neck of the woods.

    My daffodils have just started to show their yellow tips and I hope they stay that way a bit longer as it is strangely cold and windy outside my door. Funny … I have a cat that looks just like Gamma in my neighborhood that comes over to scare the birds. And one of my blogging friends has a dog named Black Jack. Of course, the dog is also entirely and beautifully black. :)

    This is my favorite time of year! Love the photos...that's a sweet faced tortie!! Black Jack is a handsome boy, too.

    cute creatures to have around the neighborhood!

    and yes, it seems to be also spring is here ealier than before. it's almost as if winter never came. in NY, it only snowed one day in all of this year. just one day!

    as much as I like nice weather, I kind of miss winter.

    hope you are having a sweet day.

    It's wonderful to see all those daffodils! I guess your local birds know all about Gamma and Black Jack. :))

    The daffodils are pretty. Only in the botanical gardens do I see these trees blooming. Even my neighbors jacaranda trees failed to show off their purple flowers.

    Hehehe, my cats are outdoors! But your neighbors' cats are friendly.

    You have lovely furry neighbors. Daffodils = Spring for me. Nice feathered friends you have, too!

    I'm so impressed by all your blossoms. How lovely for you. We're going away next week, and I'm hoping nothing blooms here while we're gone. (It would be awfully early for this area.)

    Spring is definitely here in your photos. I have never gotten to see a female cardinal so I really did enjoy looking at yours. All the pictures are so pretty...you are such a wonderful photographer. genie

    Wonderful images! Is that pink flower a honeysuckle? Really lovely shots of the flowers and the birds.

    The honeysuckle looks so beautiful. Even though the mourning dove has inconspicuous colors -I love your capture. Nothing says more spring to me than daffodils!
