The promises attached to April showers are starting to materialize around the house. I went out this afternoon to capture some of its ethereal beauty, however, more drizzle, along with a breeze that makes macro shots impossible, cut that short. A window of opportunity opened up right after dinner and I only had to travel 10 feet out the front door. Now don't get the impression that we have beds full of these hyacinths - I wish. In fact, we only have a few, and these hardy souls have struggled to get established. I think I'll get some more in the fall though.

Thank you Ruth - yep, we had some more rain yesterday ... and today *sigh*
Thanks Darlene - I got an early start so I could watch the election results ;-) My internet connection goes in fits and starts - sometimes frustratingly slow and then ok for a while. Hope you have a great rest-of-the-week !
Thank you Elizabeth - I guess the droplets are a (slight) benefit of the rain we've been having.
Merci Marty - I had to kneel on a wet front step to get those ;-) Have a wonderful week with moist (from the rain) bisous ! ;-)
Thank you Julia - yes, sometimes we don't need to look far for it !

Thank you Dawn - we were lucky we haven't had snow in April, but the rain (!). I may consider that for the wall - thanks.
Gracias tanto, Julia !
Obrigado, Fábio !
Having a nice relaxing week thanks Rick .. I am enjoying a week off as I am in between jobs. I have a very full week next week though .. induction & training in my job.
nice one! amazing :d
It's very difficult to get hyacinths to grow in this zone [3] ... grape hyacinths seem to do the best.
Marvelous captures, Rick!
i really love these shots. Thanks for sharing.
Betty

Ciao Rick, a big kiss
I love the colour!

Beautiful. Beautiful

Thank you Katherine; we're back from our trip - got in a wedding and Mother's Day celebrations. I hope all is going well with your new job. I hope to come by very soon.
Thanks Tiago !
My daughters have some lovely hyacinths - they're in zone 3 (must be lucky). My grape hyacinths aren't blooming yet.
Thank you very much Betty !

Hey Joseph - nice to see you, and thank you for your compliment ! I hope to visit soon.
You caught the various shades of pink. I like the way you framed these photos. The flowers are gorgeous!
They are charming, aren't they? Your clicks were magnificent!
I loved the sensuality of this flower...
Beijos with affection.
