The renovation pics are a bit depressing right now so I figured I'd changed to colourful and happy flowers from the front garden. We haven't had much sun lately so it's extra nice to have these to look at. I hope everyone's having a blooming time in their part of the world. 
Although the snow is slowly disappearing here in Quebec, the flowers have yet to start blooming. Feeling impatient, Peg purchased a bouquet of beautiful tulips. They have stayed hardy for the week and add a beautiful touch of colour to the room. I liked the way they looked against the blue wall, almost like they were outside with the blue sky in the background. Can't wait to be capturing these colourful creatures outside.
Spring is FINALLY starting to sprout in our yard. We have a small garden in the backyard next to the house. The snow has melted in that spot and the irises, tulips and hyacinths are starting to sprout. I believe this is a hyacinth making its debut. I like the contrast between the green and the darkness of the soil. The light seems to be coming out of the leaf tips. Such a welcome site. YES, spring is really here!
As spring advances, our flowers are blooming. We have a little flower garden next to the house. As you can see, it's fenced in with the metal fence. In case you haven't guessed why I have two words for you, Sadie and Dexter. They're big dogs who can dig really big holes but amazingly enough a 2 foot high decorative fence seems to keep them out. One hard push with a paw and they would be in the middle of the garden. Luckily for us, they haven't figured this out yet and we don't plan on telling them. Shhhh.
Went for lunch with my godkids and their mom. I arrived before them so I decided to take out the camera and capture some of their blooming tulips. Although it was a beautiful sunny day, photos were tricky because of the glare. The tulips above are from Quebec's 400th birthday. They were bred especially for the occasion. If you walk around Quebec City you'll see them in many gardens.
