Tranquil Tuesday

Last spring's tulips
Several of my blogging family have been gracing my laptop with pictures of flowers from summer, so I thought maybe I'd join them with a springtime picture. I've been spending quite a bit of time reading these days, and today I'll be going to see another movie that has been getting quite a bit of buzz: Her, with Joaquin Phoenix.

While looking for pictures of flowers, I found another picture that shows how much those tree trimmers cut back that middle tree. It's the lighter colored one in the middle, which now is nothing but a bunch of stumps.
My front porch garden
And, of course, all those flowers in the foreground are long gone. I am looking forward to summer, with whatever green I'll have from what's left of those trees. I'll be posting pictures for anybody who might be interested in seeing their progress.

  2. Oh, I am anxious to hear about Her also. The film I most want to see is Gravity but I always wait for the DVD.

  3. A nice reminder that beautiful flowers are around the corner in several months. I like to visit our local Longwood Gardens to see fresh flowers in the winter to brighten our dark winter days.

  7. I would love to follow the tree's progress - and hopefully recovery.
    Summer? You can have it. We are in a heat wave and I am soooooo over it. Love your images though.

  8. Your lovely porch has the look of spring. I'll be looking forward to hearing what you think of Her. I guess it's time to change my header photo.

  11. You are really wishing for the end of winter when you start looking at flowers. For you, spring and flowers aren't that far away.
    Enjoy the movie.

  13. I'm interested to see your report on 'Her'. We usually like to see as many of the Academy Award nominated movies as possible, but this year that is not going to happen. I can't get to enough of them before my surgery. You'll have to go see them for me.

  15. Thank you for the burst of color. That and my very first seed catalog arriving yesterday makes me feel Spring is not all that far off.

  16. Awwwwwwwwwww, indeed tranquil. And oh so beautiful.

  17. Yes I got a new seed catalogue yesterday. It was full of all sorts of delights. Why did the tree get pruned? Was it diseased or something? Lovely pictures D-Jan.
