Enjoy them while they last. The quiet green groundcover is also quite welcoming during the heat of the summer. Love the bloodroot shot. Much better than those I took. <em>Layanee, I'm so glad you finally got to see the daffs at their very peak! (You couldn't have picked a better day.) And I don't believe you about your bloodroot photos. -kris</em> Your pictures are gorgeous but seeing this display in person is really an experience. Enjoy them while they last.

Such great words to live by, especially in the garden. I'm trying very hard to put the long list of chores out of mind, for at least a few minutes each day, and take this time to really observe. There is an incredible amount to see. Your image of the Acer blossoms, so mesmerizing, reminded me to get out the camera and visit our collection of Maples. Thanks Kris! <em>Kathy, I hope that as the season progresses you keep taking those minutes every day! It gets tougher and tougher to allow for them... -kris</em> Carpe Diem.

This spring is whizzing by just too quickly, but you're right, something else will come along to divert the attention, but while the daffodils & Sanguinaria are in their glory, nothing can compare. <em>MMD, I wish you could be here to see it all too! It's interesting that your spring is flying by too... -kris</em> Those daffodils look fantastic, I wish I could seize them with my eyes in person.

"seize the day with both eyes!" Great advice, Kris. And great photos--I SO hope that I can head East and visit Blithewold one day. <em>Kim, I'll look forward to whenever you make it out here - but I hope it's someday soon! -kris</em> I like that… “seize the day with both eyes!” Great advice, Kris.

Your pictures are wonderful, as always. Aside from my Ice Follies, nothing much else is out yet here except for a few Jack Snipes against fences and warm pockets. <em>High praise, Susan - thank you! If you had ice follies on Friday, I'll bet you have a lot more out by now - I hope you are having a real spring by now anyway! -kris</em> Always my favorite daffodil display through the bosquet.
