Backyard Has Beauty Too

Often the traveler is guilty of thinking that only the distant or unusual carries interest or beauty. We love the Southwest, but can also find equivilent natural beauty just thirty paces from the back door.

The tulips glisten after an early morning rain.

The daffodils were caught in late afternoon while the bunny was spied along the side of the garage when I opened the back door one day.

Allergy sufferers beware.  The dreaded forsythia exploded this spring.

The tulips were almost transparent in late afternoon.

And once again our old apple tree sent out its blooms.

So welcome to the Midwest; it has its glory too.
