Backyard Beauties

Although today started out as a typical "gray May" day, by early afternoon the sun had come out and it turned into a beautiful afternoon! I grabbed my camera and my macro filters and decided to explore the back yard to see what was new.  (My yard's the size of a postage stamp, but you never know... new things pop up all the time!)  Here are a few of my finds.

This flowering bush is so vibrant and pretty, and I loved seeing the new buds with the full blooms in the background.

These lilies make me smile whenever I see them.

These flowers are actually tiny little things that bloom in clusters. Each flower is probably less than an inch across.

Here too, tiny little flowers that bloom in a cluster. In this picture, you can even see the spider webs between the petals.
