Another post.... because when we stopped at our appartment, my husband spotted two mourning doves sitting in the grass. I hadn't even seen them! To my astonishment he grabbed the camera and I had to start the car again so he could roll down the window and take pictures, before they would fly away! I guess I'm rubbing off! So I had to post them.. here they are!

Today I'm posting shots of red spring flowers from the last couple of weeks.

A couple more spring pictures:

Spring blossom! I'm not really content about the second one, but I guess it will have to do... I wish I could have had the white blossom against the blue sky and less "noise" in the background.

Thanks for looking!

No april fools day for me today! After the last couple of days that were pretty hard and I wished that I was back in the Netherlands (I think the medical care is really the only area where I rather be in the Netherlands than over here!) I had a great experience tonight. We went to redbox to rent a dvd and a lady comes over and says: "Are you renting a DVD... if so I have a promocode to get it for free! Would you like to use it?" This is a stranger who takes the time to get out of the car, give us the code... granted it would only have been a dollar to rent the dvd, but it was so considerate and so nice.... I was really pleasantly surprised! So thank you, lady! It really made my day! I guess there are things that are bigger and better in Texas..... and that takes us to my pictures..... I thought we had some pretty big thistles in our garden in the Netherlands, I reconsidered! These thistles were huge!!! And okay they are not the prettiest things, but they are extreme and spring like, at least to this Dutch woman!

The last picture is of a beautiful flower of which I don't know the name.
