All Choked Up

May 20, 2013 Photo of the day: "All Choked Up!"

I love our chokeberry bushes!

In the fall, they turn crimson 

with glossy, black berries,

but in the spring their tiny petals

are pure white with pink tipped sepals
and bright green foliage.

The Neighbors' Pear Tree

May 15, 2013 Photo of the day: "Pear Blossoms"

We had a big storm last night.

It blew all the furniture off our deck. 

Yet these tiny, delicate blossoms, 

though a bit battered, 

are still perfectly beautiful.
