Friday "My Town" Shootout--Yard objects!!

Since I live in an apartment, I don't have a yard.... so I went to my parents' house and used theirs!

There are tulips abound in the backyard, and a lot of the bulbs have grown together, giving us these "hybrids". Also growing are purple and white tulips!



Another thing about living in California... fresh fruits and veggies! My parents have two orange trees, plus an ever-bearing lemon tree. I can't remember the last time they actually bought citrus!


Lastly, just as an amusing aside, this little guy peeks out from amongst the daffodil greens.


Now go enjoy the sunshine!

  2. What a great tulip. Looks almost like a piece of candy in a candy store.

  6. Have you noticed that the orange is directly above the rabbit's head.
    If it ripens and falls he could possibly be dead!
