Yesterday was gorgeous and sunny so my friend Amber and I headed to the outskirts of the city for a spring walk. The bluebells were out full force. Isn't spring just delicious?

I always associate bluebells with English children's novels. How charming that you actually have them growing near you!
This area just explodes with forsythia this time of year, and I love to pair it with pussy willows :)

bluebells! I have these all over my backyard and love love love making tiny bouquets for every room in the house. Last year when we moved in my stubborn boy roomates declared them all weeds and ripped them out of the lawn. I shed a few tears, but this year they are back, better than ever! And no flower killing had occured. In fact, the boy has embraced their loveliness with plans to build a stepping stone path under their lovely leafy umbrella.
Also, I am curious about the location of the first picture! Hoyt? or Forest Park?

Alice's Adventures: Thanks! Your backyard sounds divine!! The top photo was taken at The Bishop's Close Garden in SW and the rest were taken in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!

with all this pastels colours and the blooming, Spring is the most spectacular season of the year!
Maybe is also because I love flowers.... see a few on my blog:

Posted by: shellie | April 13, 2010 at 08:11 PM
these photos are simply stunning!!
Can I ask you where and how you learned to take pictures like that?
Posted by: lien | April 14, 2010 at 07:23 AM
lien: That is very sweet. I still have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to the technical stuff but I recommend buying Nicole Hill's book. She teaches you how to run your camera on manual. http://nicolesclasses.bigcartel.com/product/photo-101-textbook-preorder
