Show & Tell Friday: Spring Flowers

After all the rain we've had this winter, we have having a bumper crop of beautiful blooming flowers.
Today I decided to go outside and photograph some of the vibrant color where we live.
These photos are of the what we call our "back hill", which is right below us....I see this every day that I go outside and sit on the patio.

A close up of the "ice plant".
A view from the front porch.

I'm joining Cindy over at My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday.....please pop on over and take a look at all the participants.
Thank you for looking in .....I always look forward to your lovely comments.
Have an enjoyable weekend!

You see that out of your back window? Now? My gosh that is amazing, I have never seen a meadow like that!

That is stunning! If it looked like that behind my house, I think I would sit on my back porch every morning with my cup of coffee. What a way to start the day!

I feel like frolicking through those flowers! Do people frolick anymore? If not, I think we should. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
