Sunday Stills: Wildflowers and Flowers

The challenge this week was Wildflowers and Flowers.  Fine.  Nothing is blooming.  We still have snow in the woods.  The lakes are frozen.  It is freaking cold..The high Saturday was 42 degrees.

I found some pussy willows ( Salix discolor).

I had better luck at the grocery store.

One look at the pollen and my husband started to sneeze…we worked too many years in the greenhouses.  We don’t allow any flowers in the house.

Happy Easter everyone..it is supposed to be 60 degrees above zero for us..we will see..I am not holding my breath:(

Macro Monday: Easter Lily

I took these last week in the grocery store, they had a great selection of Easter Lilies..in all stages of opening.
I liked the shadow of the pistil in this one ..especially the stigma the uppermost portion of the pistil.  Check out more macros here:)
