Winter's Over






Signs of the season were apparent today. Temperatures climbed to 97, but with a dry balmy breeze, it felt pretty good in the shade. Cloudy skies earlier this week kind of camouflaged the emerging pear blossoms. Against the azure blue skies today, their beautiful white blossoms swayed majestically in the breeze.

A black swallowtail (look at the lower left corner to find it)
paused to sip the nectar from the fragrant blossoms.


Other blooms of note in the garden this week were the papyrus
and a cactus.







Nearby the neat geometry of another cactus caught the camera's eye.
