Barb Bouwkamp recently purchased a new camera and told me that she had to learn how to use it. Looking at today's photos, I think she's doing pretty well with it, as the first shot of the Crocuses there seems like you could reach right in the photo and pick a few of them.

I'm not certain of the name for the pretty flowers in the third shot, so I'm going to rely on someone else to chime in to identify them for us. All I know for sure, is that it's wonderful to finally see the Spring colors popping up here in the Keweenaw like this.

The last picture again makes you feel like you're right there, eye to eye with this little guy, who Barb said was trying to sneak into their garage. Guess you could say she made him "freeze" in his tracks. I wonder if he found his way in later, after Barb and her new camera left the premises? ;-> Either way, it's a great shot of him.

Good job with the camera work, Barb and thanks for sharing the colors!

Our crocuses have come and gone :-( The tulips around here are doing great and the lilacs are budding.

Love that sneaky chippy!!

Good Morning. Thank you for the beautiful flower photos, and, of course, of the cute little chipmunk! Good job, Barb. Thanks to both Barb and Mary. :-)

Chip has one of those "I just got caught!" looks. Kind of like me when I was kid, I picked the neighbor's tulips for my mother. Oh wait, that was last week. :-)

When we moved into this house, we had crocuses the first and second year....then I think a 'chippy' took care of 'em. Distructive little critters!:-<

oops....I do know how to spell "destructive"....hands move faster than the old brain.

Cute little "Busted" chipmunk!

Beautiful flowers, especially the lavender ones.

Ilike the flowers in the third picture. I also like the spot on the chipmunks nose.

Are those pretty little flowers in #3 Impatiens or Spring Beauties?
