Exploring Nature Near Home

This past Friday, I went for a walk starting out from my home in Telford going along a creek and past a pond. It was a beautiful partly sunny afternoon to immerse myself in nature. Below are some of the highlights:

Signs of Spring around Home

This past Saturday, I decided to explore right around home for signs of Spring. Below are some of the items I found. Enjoy!

Snow Scenes

This past Friday and Saturday, we had a small amount of snow - just enough to be beautiful. Below are a few photographs from around home.

Flowers around Home

My wife and I enjoy growing flowers at our residence. Below are some of the flowers we are enjoying.

 

An impatient and begonias in the planter on the front porch

This and all the other geraniums we bought from our brothers' greenhouses.

In these white geraniums, I like the little tint of red
in the center of each flower.

I very much like this color combination, too.

This is an Easter lily that comes up every year for us outside.

Last but not least, we also enjoy growing tomatoes. This particular plant will produce yellow tomatoes which my wife likes for eating fresh.
