Spring is in the air

The last few weeks I've been itching to go some place different to take some pictures.  I've got the shutter bug...LOL! OK, so I'm a little corny :D  Since I'm not heading off to any cool or exotic location, I decided to photograph a couple of flowers around our yard that were in full bloom.

 Bird of Paradise is from our backyard.

I'm not sure what the name of this flowering bush is, 

but it's still beautiful. 

 

 

 This is in our front yard.

I've decided to blog about Spring. I love the springtime, because it's not to cold and not to hot (especially if you live in Las Vegas). Spring is usually pretty short lived around here, so you'd better enjoy it before it goes away.

I look forward to the grass being green again and all the flowers blooming in the yards. I so enjoy taking pictures of flowers. I know you're probably wondering what kind of flowers grow in the desert, but they do. Our Bird of Paradise's are blooming right now and they are really beautiful flowers.


There are a some downsides to Spring as well....Allergies! Well I don't necessarily have a problem with them, but my son does. It does make it a little hard for him with all the pollen in the air. Springtime also brings the "winds" to Las Vegas, and they can get a little annoying as well.

So Cheers to Spring!
