"PEACHY"

"Each flower is a soul blossoming out to nature." ~ Gerard de Nerval

UPDATE: These are Chaenomeles Speciosa 'Cameo' aka Dwarf Flowering Quince

Although this is not one of my best flower shots or the best looking blooms at this stage (in my opinion), I like their color. I spotted them in the front yard of a home in our neighborhood Tuesday evening. The families in our residential area so liberal about me taking advantage of photo opps in their yards.

Also, thanks for your comments on my "Purple-Pink Redbuds" photo yesterday. Yesterday was the first day of spring and it was interesting to read that so many of you were still experiencing cold winter weather, and in some cases, even snow. I believe we will get more cold weather at some point, too.

Hang in there; tomorrow is Friday!
