Not quite speechless

It's been warm and sunny for a few days; time to check out the spring flowers on the New Westminster Quay.

What can I say? They are so brilliant this year; I am overwhelmed.

Tulips come in many colours and shapes.

There's a spider in this narcissus. Do you see it?

Rhododendron.

Wallflower. We stopped to smell these, too. Mmmm!

The center of a tulip.

Yellow tulip.

Pansies

These monkey faces always make me laugh.

And, to clear our palates, a beautiful black rove beetle on grey cement. But look at the blue of the folded wings under his jacket.

And a sparrow, in delicate greys and browns. I needed that.

More later ...
