When I took this I knew it would be perfect for adding words too. Thought it would be good for texture tuesday too.

First day of spring

YEAH its spring.  at least according to the calendar.  It has been a long winter for most of the US and I for one am soooo ready for spring. 

I actually took this picture the first weekend of March but thought it was better served on this day.

focusing on my up challenge for the month I took this of my alum in the yard from a low position.

At least something is turning green and growing in the yard. this is my giant allum. I love those things. the first year I had them my neighbor came over and asked what the heck they were going to be and when they came up she came back to exam them.
