The red parrot tulip was just beginning to bud in the circular back yard garden. Unlike other tulips, the red parrot bud was a little bit ugly. The petals of the red parrot tulip had turned almost completely red. The bud of the red parrot tulip turned a combination of red and green as it grew ready to bloom. A red parrot tulip was completely open and faced the afternoon sun. A red parrot tulip had opened just enough for its stamen to become visible inside.

Two of the front garden tulips opened their petals later that same day. The display was dramatic. Two early tulips of different heights had just bloomed in the front garden. They remained closed. Six Amber Glow tulips bloomed at random locations around a patch of dirt at the front of our property. They provided a welcome splash of warmth early in the 2021 spring season. Behind and to the right, leaves of lilies were beginning to grow. The first tulip of the season glowed in the sunlight of morning. Notice how its leaves curled.

Happy Easter! -- Reprise: Egg Shapes As Found Art
|
|
|
|
A glass bowl of egg shaped Christmas ornaments was on display in a store window in the Embarcadero Center. A tiny image of the photographer taking this picture was captured in multiple reflections. Behind the photographer, and outside the window behind were blue sky and trees. A tree decorated for a birthday appeared to have plastic fruit shaped like eggs. The apparent fruit was actually thin plastic which split horizonally through the middle. At the time, a gentle tap revealed the eggs were empty.

Peony Leaves, As A flowering Plant, Front Garden, Eugene, Oregon
|
|

The peony plant grows with straight red stems with sprout red leaves. The green hoops are there to support the plant when it later flowers because those flowers will be heavy and huge. As the leaves began to unfurl, they became a paler red than the stems and will eventually turn green. This green hoop was too small for the number of stems growing.
