>>>>>>Those are simply beautiful shots! thanks for sharing :cool:

You are quite welcome. I hope that the spring mood helps. I just love it when my yard has all those colors coming through. Will try to take some more of the budding tulips and hyacinth and leafing trees.

I love those flowers!! What are they called? I can't remember...it's a type of flowering groundcover yes?

Wonderful pics! Well done!

Thanks, yes you are correct that it is flowering groundcover. I have been told it is vinca vines.

Vinca!!! I have a big bed of it in my front yard under one of my Norway Maples! The paisly-shaped bed of Vinca is hidden under the carpet of leaves under the tree in the foreground:

They're fine in dry soil and shade. I need that with the shallow roots under that species of tree. ^_^

Here are some of my groundcovers and such from my backyard:

Thanks TT. I work mostly with a vatiety of greens - you have colors all over the spectrum...and your photographs are beautiful. (>^_^)>

Have you been into the deep woods lately (I think I remember you showing me pics from around a cabin)? :)

I'm so jealous TT!...I can't get these kinds of beautiful flowers, nor most of the ones above, to grow succesfully in my yard at all. At least not year to year. :/

Thanks for the visions of spring!!
For desert terrain we do have a pretty colorful spring. i didn't realize how colorful until i had the camera in my hand and i seemed to wake up to everything around me :cool:

You're most welcome and thank you as well :rose: hehe...green is my favorite color

LOL funny you should ask that, i was just going thru most of my photo files last night and came across my web page for that Hunting lodge i was at last year. which sent me on a mad search for the single photos. I found them, set them aside to upload them back into photobucket. thinking i'd post a couple of those pics over here and completely forgot about them until reading this post haha.
So i'll get them up when i log on tomarrow:)
