May 2 through May 8

Monday, May 2

Buds opening can be dramatic when silhouetted against the sky. Not too bad for a gray evening!

Tuesday, May 3

The drizzle started as I was putting my bike in the car to go out for the club ride. I hoped it would stop, so I drove on to our meeting point. No such luck - rained out.

Wednesday, May 4

A MUCH nicer evening for a bike ride - and a beautiful sky at dusk.

Thursday, May 5

An oddity seen alongside the highway.

Friday, May 6

Another of the spring beauties in our yard - the serviceberry.

Saturday, May 7

I was looking for something to photograph in the short time between a morning at our Franciscan candidates' retreat and leaving for a friend's 90th birthday celebration. I found it in the unfurling hostas in front of the house.

Sunday, May 8

I was VERY glad I had a camera with me on our bike ride when Dave brought me to this beautiful garden! What a gorgeous place.
