Here we are in Spring 2007, and I'm wondering where the year has gone so quickly! I have been so busy cleaning leaves, tree limbs and assorted debris from the yard and gardens that I've almost failed to notice new blooms appearing daily. I've taken a few shots of early spring bulbs, and this is (always) one of my favorites.

I couldn't resist getting a close up view in part shade. As I write our current temperature is at 31F with wind chills only in the teens. Needless to say this shot was taken in balmy 65 degree weather with sunshine.
