This time of year when I see flowers poking up through the still-brown leaves and other debris from winter they look especially beautiful to me…almost illuminated against their drab backdrop. I snapped a few closeups today of flowers growing in my neighbor’s front yard. The two below I find particularly interesting…I didn’t realize it when I was taking the photos–just concentrating on holding the camera steady–but if you look close you can see a little bug staring back at me (click any for a larger view).
