After the rain............

It has rained again today. I caught this Grackle out looking for grubs in my grass. Seems he was a success.

Such a pretty bird, but he has a mean look about him with his intense eye and sharp beak. Across the alley I found some lovely blossoms. I don't know what it is but I had to get some pictures. Then next to that the man opposite my garden has lovely Tulips growing. A few different from last year. He plants all his flowers in rows for some reason. Maybe he sells the bulbs?



He also has a nice crop of Rhubarb. Next will be his Iris, he has all colours of those too.

Meanwhile, back in my garden.....the blossoms on my crab apple tree are popping.




The tree has two parts to it. One has white blooms and the other half is pink.

The Lilac is beginning to bloom as well and looks so pretty with some of the flowers being only half open.






Wild Geranium, it only has a couple of flowers at the moment but it looked so pretty.


I have so many pictures that I will save some for tomorrow.
