Sunny and warm..at last!

Photos from around the neighborhood this afternoon...

Someone has a young tree in blossom and lovely tulips, too!

A tulip tree in full bloom behind a vine covered mail box....and a red bud "bonsai"?

Then a whole line of springtime glory...red bud, forsythia and daffodils! I like the shadow of the bare tree branches too!

At home, my little garden angel stands near a newly opened miniature iris...

And a group of "pink" daffodils.....see the peach/apricot tones in the trumpets?

My main goal on this walk was to get a photo of this old truck.....to reference while I add a truck to the foreground of this watercolor....again, I see shadows of bare tree limbs.....

Here is the aqua truck to add to the art work....

Back later with results....? Hopefully!

Meanwhile some of my grandchildren are on spring break at the beach.....in Florida.
Little Nina looking at the big ocean......
