Purple Flower


Not sure what this flower is, but it's out in the back garden. I thought it looked interesting.

Red Tulip



Red tulip taken the same time as the previous photos of the bleeding heart and purple tulips.  I had the camera set to the maco setting, and touched up the photos (sharpness, contrast) in PSE 7.

Bleeding Heart

The bleeding heart plant isn't doing all that well this year - at least so far. It's still early, so maybe it will blossom and grow more. Right now, though, there aren't many blossoms on it.  This is one branch that had a few hanging down. I used my macro setting and blurred the background to make them stand out more.

Purple Tulips




There only a few tulips in the garden, and these are a few purple ones (there are a few red ones as well). Right now there isn't much growing in the garden, but there are a few things starting to grow. I haven't seen these "bloom" yet, and just seem to stay closed up like in the photos. They are still pretty though.

Pansies

This is the lonely clump of pansies left in the front garden. There used to me several other ones, but they didn't come up this spring. I guess they died off. I took this photo the other day, and also got some shots of purple tulips and a couple of red ones. I'll be posting those in the following days.

Purple Flowers

Some flowers, possible grape hyacinthe but not totally sure, in the front garden.

Kitty Cat

My favourite furry feline. This is my cat, Tinker Belle, and she's 12 years old. I fixed the colouring, sharpness, and contrast up just a bit with PSE 7.
