Some Early Spring Pictures

[cowgirltease]

Yep it's here in Oklahoma!:D
Got any pics you wanna share?

[Sharni]

When it's spring time here i'll add some pics :D

Gorgeous flowers eh...love that time of year

[Romial]

*sigh*

It barely got above freezing here today.

[campingboy]

Winter storm warnings today. Roads north and west of here are closed due to snow drifts. I should see crocus and Daffodils sometime in mid May :-(

[Kissy]

It was beautiful here today. My daughter kept running around half dressed. :rolleyes:

[bordendazed]

I saw a bluejay yesterday, and the crocusses have been up for a week. The pussy willow is fuzzy and the forcythia's turning green! Horray!

[Teddy Bear]

*sigh*

still to cold here....

Might reach high 30's today according to weather report.

[Lilith]

Spring is bustin out all over!

[Lilith]

& Spring has sprung!

[Lilith]

The bees are happy happy once again!

[Cheyanne]

:( Winter Storm Warning here....

But.............Walmart does have a portion of the parking lot blocked off for their outside lawn & garden!!! :p

[PantyFanatic]

The ice flows are pretty much gone from the lake and most of the ground is bare. It could disapear again, but it won't be too long now.:D

(maybe it will be time to transplant some berry bushes soon:rolleyes: )





;)

[Cheyanne]

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm berries.... :p

You're not talking about those same berries that Coblat loves to eat - served in a very special way are you???

[PantyFanatic]

I WISH! :( (that lucky bastard)

I was thinking about the crummy old 3-yield per season type. They sure are not very good compaired to THOSE. :lust:

[curvyredhead]

It's getting better here... the snow is off the ground and the crocus are up... and it's going to stay above freezing tonight!

But I haven't put my winter coat away just yet... old man winter isn't done with us yet I'm sure!

[dicksbro]

After a few nice days ... 1-3 inches of snow predicted here. Guess ol' man winter hasn't quite given up. :(

[darogle]

Beautiful pics CGT and Lil! Makes me long for home and the warmer weather there. Unfortunately, it's still pretty grey and dismal here, but I'll send y'all pics as soon as things start to green up!

[lakritze]

My Narcissis bulbs all bloomed a couple of days ago and I am seeing cut daffodills in the store.Boxes of fresh strawberries to.The biggest sign though is the bags of all licorice jelly beans (YUM!) found in the Easter candy section along Dove eggs and PeePs bunnys. Oh yes,women are wearing a lot less clothes this time of year.(even better than liorice jelly beans.)

[LixyChick]

I'd show you my daffodils poking through the ground......but they are covered with snow again today! Poor robins flew in just in time to get snowed on! Yesterday they were mating and bobbing all around my yard........today I can't find them anywhere! And the chickadees can't find the feed I put out either! I even heard the spring peepers (little frogs that hang out in the trees) last evening but they prolly foroze to death today *SIGH*

OMG! There goes a snow plow! Lemme at that friggin weatherman/woman! Oh...and PF? Keep your f'in "lake effect" weather.....would ya please??? We get one more lake effect/artic blast/Canadian winds report.......I'M GONNA SCREAM!!!!!

*jumps off the snow laden soap box*

Oh well........you know what they say about March...dontcha?

In like an orangutan.......out like an emu! *shrugs* :D

[dicksbro]

We were lucky. Had 2-3 inches of snow this morning, but virtually all of it is gone this evening. Never really covered the roads around here. :D

[PantyFanatic]

My side of the lake WAS fine Lixy.:) We didn't have anything stupid enough to poke it's head up yet, but you COULD see the ground yesterday.:( It's that "stuff" from over the center line, about 45 miles straight out. You KNOW how sloppy those stephforeignerssteph are with their stephWINDsteph and stephICEsteph and stephSNOWsteph. :rolleyes:

[BIBI]

Being Canadian PF, I should spank you for those remarks, but you would like it tooooooo much ;)

[PantyFanatic]

I only have about 5" (12cm) right on the shore, but much of the area has up to 10"..................... and it's NOT going away DB. :(

[LixyChick]

No snow for you, huh? That's cause you were on your side of the lake.......a huffin and a puffin just to see if you could raise my skirt up from way over there!!!!!!

NOW KNOCK IT THE "F" off........damittofuckinghellandback!!!!!!

I'll raise my skirt for ya when the spring peepers come back! ;)

[PantyFanatic]

OH, …………………. You mean that's Canada over there Bibi? :confused: I can’t see it through the blizzard. ;)


…….. and you’re RIGHT! :D But you could sit on my face if you think I need a lesson.:slurp:

[PantyFanatic]

.....a huffin and a puffin just to see if you could raise my skirt up from way over there!!!!!!.....
We got lots of snow................. but maybe winter isn't so bad.:lust:


and as soon as I find out what "peepers" are, I'm going to catch a whooooooole bunch of them.:slurp: :D

[BIBI]

hmmm....frisky tonight EH? :slurp:

Put the porch light on......I'll be right over!:D

[quisath]

Although my sinus' take a beating and all the Pollen wreaks havoc on me I find that the beauty of spring outweighs my weakness. It's my favorite time of the Year.

This is one of the Red Bud Trees that grow on the Company I work fors Property. I took this when it was raining (well..........sprinkling) and was surprized it came out as good as it did.


And lets not forget all the Little babies born around this time of Year. I hope to get some shots of the Red Tail Hawks that frequent my property. They are awesome to watch.

[Lilith]

Q~ I'd be eternally grateful for a pic or two of some Tx Bluebonnets.

[Steph]

Grrrr! We're getting your storm right now, thank you very much, Ohio boy!!!

[skyler_m]

We are FAR from spring here. Got 8 inches of snow yesterday and it's coming down again today. Maybe another inch or 2...

If you look hard in the pic, you might be able to see the trees budding... LOL

[Coaster]

About half of it melted today..... I'm flyin south!

[Lilith]

[Coaster]

[cowgirltease]

... and a little salt.:bite:

[PantyFanatic]

Guess who that ----^ was for? ;)










:D

[imalikalotapuss]

It's been too damn hot here...70's and even low 80's. We NEED snow, its been so dry here that instead of water we may have to start drinking COORS. It's spring break so maybe the weather will change and SNOW.

[Steph]

I can't even begin to guess who that was for, PF!

[cowgirltease]

This poor little guy has been lookin for a mate for over a week now!
He's just been singin and singin and no females come.:( He finally started seducing my fake parrot on this oak tree! LMAO!:D

[Steph]

ROFL The poor guy, CGT! Ah well, we all use toys at some point, I guess! :D

[naughtyangel]

Booooo and Hisssss to all of you with flowers and green grass and sunshine! I'm so jelous :(

We've still got about 20cm of snow, although the temperature today managed to creep up to just above zero *sigh*

[cowgirltease]

Sorry naughtyangel........here's more to drive you nuts with.:D Just picked today.

[Mae]

1 crocus, 4 daffodils and 1 iris...so far. Oh, and a Robin!

[osuche]

Thanks for sharing. Looks like spring is not quite as far along where you are as it is in OH.

Such wonderful things to look forward to!

[Lilith]

I took some pics of my wild irises today. Think of CGT everytime a new one blooms.

[dicksbro]

Lilith, those are beautiful. Thanks.

[SOULMINER]

[Cheyanne]

Beautiful flowers CGT... :D

[Cheyanne]

DB... I said it before, and I'll say it again... you have a special eye for beauty and an astounding ability to capture what you see on camera....totally amazing!

Soulminer... that is really a neat photo. Stirs up some emotions.

Lilith... Thanks to CGT, I have become a lover of Irises! Those are another variation that I have never seen before!

One of my classes this quarter is web programming, and we have to build a web site writing in code only.. (YIKES). If none of you mind, I would like to do a themed site that includes nature photography - well, not the normal "nature" that we see at Pixies, but the "outdoors" variety.. lol! (You all know what I mean... :D :D )

Can I use these pictures on it? Pretty please??? :D

Okay LIL!!!!!!! I have to have some of those!!!!!!! Are those coastal irises? They look like it.
Trade me????:D

Beautiful pics DB!!!! Thank you for sharing them. :daisy:

[Lilith]

CGT if you tell me how and when to best send you them I'd gladly send ya some. We call them wild irises.

[cowgirltease]

Yay!!!!! You got it! I'll pm ya.;)

[cowgirltease]

Thanks Chey. I do believe the iris bug has bitten you!:) :D

[dicksbro]

Pictures are wonderful, CGT. Absolutely beautiful!

[cowgirltease]

Thank you kind sir! Irises are my passion!:)

[dicksbro]

How about a wonderfully smelling lilac bush ...

[dicksbro]

And, our crab apple tree ...

[dicksbro]

... and a red bud tree ...

[dicksbro]

Okay, it's not a tree or a bush ... but there's something about railroad tracks that I think is kind of interesting ...

[dicksbro]

Okay ... enough is enough. I'll hit the road.

[naughtyangel]

gorgeous pics! I'm so jelous that you all have flowers and green grass already! Spring has only just started to spring here, I can't wait to break out my camera for something more interesting than snow and ice :D

[naughtyangel]

oh, dicksbro, may I ask what camera you're using? :)

[littlelass]

Those are really beautiful! I have to weed out the front area of the house so that hopefully I can plant in a few flowers at some point.

It got quite warm today and since the snow is all gone...I hope I can put away the winter coat for a while!

[dicksbro]

Thanks, naughtyangel. I just use an ol' Sony Mavica. Nothing fancy, but I love how easy it is to use.

[LixyChick]

Always so beautiful (((((db)))))! I love crab apple trees. Reminds me of my childhood. All the pics are so perty! TY for sharing...everyone!

I had 3 ducks in the yard yesterday morning. Kinda unusual because they usually hang out around ponds and lakes and we don't have any close by. Just taking a break I guess...and getting some bird seed too! Dunno what happened to my turkey girl...and maybe I don't wanna know...*sniffle*. Didn't take any spring pics yet...still getting the yard in shape. Will do this weekend though!

[cowgirltease]

I'm back! LOL with some more gorgeous ones!

[cowgirltease]

well lets try another

[cowgirltease]

I really like this one

[cowgirltease]

an oldie but a goodie

[cowgirltease]

For cheyanne........

[dicksbro]

FANTASTIC!

[dicksbro]

Lixy ...

Oh good, the ducks made it. They hadn't called home yet and I was getting worried. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, they were wearing a cam for me hoping to catch you out by the barn making spring angels. It they're still there, tell them thanks for trying. :D :D

[Teddy Bear]

DB,
The new pics are great! Lilacs are my favorite and you can almost smell them in that pic. Beautiful!! Mine are not flowering yet. When they do I bring bunches of them in the house. mmmm!!





I have a feeling I missed something having to do with CGT and irises. Which thread was it??

[Lilith]

TeddyBear~ Look back through this thread... I merged the 2 because we were talking about both in both. Easier to have them together!

[Cheyanne]

Originally posted by cowgirltease

Yeppers!!! Those are my favorite!! In fact, I have listed a few of them from that link you gave me... they are all variations of those!!! The other ones...I can't remember the name at the moment, are the blue centers with the white falls... <sigh> and then there are the ones that are white with the blue/purple around the edges of each petal... <sigh * sigh>

Wouldn't they look good together??? All say that they are rebloomers, but with our short season, I am not sure about that. Hopefully this weekend, if it is nice and not severe weather we are going to start preparing a bed for them babies.. !!!!

Again, thanks CGT for posting these pics! Beautiful flowers!

[cowgirltease]

This morning was so awesome I had to share it with you!:)

[cowgirltease]

I was caught up in the moment....

[cowgirltease]

my horses were just waking up....

[cowgirltease]

moments like these are what life is all about.:)

[cowgirltease]

Hearing the echoes of wild turkeys on the creek......

[cowgirltease]

searching for breakfast.......

[cowgirltease]

I love this one,This was my dad's.

[cowgirltease]

some more new ones today!!!!:)

[cowgirltease]

:)

[UrGuy]

Very beautiful pictures sweet cowgirl. At my last place I had a dark room all set up and enjoyed taking pictures. Now with the computer doing all the work (althought it is still takes talent to get the great images that can be designed), but still with film it takes a good photographer and a good set up to get the perfect picture. (By the way cowgirltease, if you would like to model for some very very private pictures, I'll take you into the dark room and help feel, I mean help you develope.

[cowgirltease]

*says in her best southern accent* Why honey if I didn't know better I would say you were seducing me.;)

[huntersgirl]

Great pictures everyone! Not sure how I missed looking at all these sooner. CGT~ your Iris's, horses and general surroundings are beautiful! You must love waking up each day!:)

[cowgirltease]

Oh I do!!!! And I hate going to town to work. I think I need to find a sugar daddy. :D

[paprclphd]

Well, I am feeling a little spring fever in Texas! I thought I would share a pic of my flowers on my balcony. Its a very small balcony, but it definately helps to bring the sunshine inside!

[FallenAngel5]

LOL - this is the best sign of spring that I can find. Gotta love college!

[cowgirltease]

Ready4Ty.. Thanks that was cool!:D
paprclphd...... I love your flowers! But I know the texas bluebonnets are blooming now. Can you get us a pic?



I'm so proud of myself. I just got to see my first creation bloom! WOOO HOOOO!!!!!

[cowgirltease]

I want you to know it's taken 3 years to get to see this.
To show you what you can do with irises, I've got my seedling next to it's mother which is on the left.

[cowgirltease]

Gawd I'm so jealous of my neighbors roses!

[FallenAngel5]

that iris was really pretty :) and holy crap, that's alot of roses.

[Lilith]

CGT~ have you named it yet?

[cowgirltease]

No, I haven't. Darogle thinks I should name it cowgirltease. LOL:rolleyes:

[Lilith]

Or Cowgirl's Tease...since it took soooo long to happen!

[jseal]

Cowgirltease,

With irises like the ones you have, you need not be envious of your neighbors’ roses.

[cowgirltease]
