spring flowers, part 6

so i'm thinking this is probably the final installation in the spring flowers "series". these are heady times, my friends. since summer is nearly upon us, i felt the need to purge my camera of these images. i hope somebody enjoys them.








all of these were taken outside AC's place, near Burlington and Summit.

happy May Day everybody! and with that, we have this pic of the crabtree out front of our house (at least i think that's what it is). in any case, this is my favorite time of the year for a number of reasons, foremost of which being the weather. this is one of the two relatively short windows we, here in Iowa, have between the bitter cold of winter and the oppressive heat/humidity of summer. for those in the area, get outside and enjoy it while it lasts. for a little background on Labour/Loyalty Day, check here.
