Around the Yard_May 10

  I am linking up with Personal Photo Challenge and Our World Tuesday 


This week's challenge is COLOR

I wish a Happy Mother's Day to all my blogging friends!

I am sharing some bird and blooms around my yard, especially timed for Mother's Day!  This is my first attempt at the Personal Photo Challenge..this week is color..

Lately I've been seeing 4-5 Indigo Buntings in my yard.  Above is the adult male, non-breeding male and a female bottom right.

 Our pink Dogwood blooms, dogwood blooms mixed with a Redbud tree that is behind and an Azalea bush.

On this shot the Dogwood tree sits in front of the Redbud tree. I like the mixture of colors with the pink blooms from the Dogwood and the Purplish colors from the Redbud tree.

 I am not sure what these pretty pink flowers are, it is a little bush. Also is a Titmouse and Bleeding Heart blooms..

These carnation like flowers are on a small bush next to our driveway.. They were planted before we moved in almost 25 years ago. I am not sure of their name?

We have a ton of red maple seedlings growing under our big red maple tree. These are in our front yard.

 The collage above starting left is the adult male, middle is the female and on the right is the non-breeding male Indigo Buntings.
