My South African blood lily, Haemanthus coccineus, was open before I even noticed. Managed to get a photo after a honey eater bird had it's way with it lol.

Love your blood lily Tess, are there no leaves?
South African lilies are so sneaky!  I have a clivia, one day there is nothing and the next there is the flower.  I can never catch it coming up... :mad:

Beautiful flower Tess. Looked it up so I could see the pre-honey-eater-bird look. The clivia is gorgeous too Hannie. What else do you gals have in your gardens?

Candice

I bet the bees love your flower, Tess!

Hannie, it has large leaves first, they die off and the flower comes up. It's weird.

Tess, you have a regular zoo there!
The camelia is gorgeous, not easy to get them to look like that. 

Your South African blood lily sounds like an alien...  :)

This is my morning photo, the coots are busy nesting in a canal near my house.  What the dachshund is to dogs, the coot is to birds:  totally fearless and feisty.

Interesting bird Hannie. I read up on them and they are quite vicious to their chicks if there are too many to feed.

never giving up......learning from others as I go...

Wow Lynn. What a great place to walk. Here's our morning outing. Some spring babies were out for a stroll.

Love the ducklings! We have migrating birds back but haven't seen any babies yet. A path in a local park we enjoy:

Those ducklings are a hoot. We have been watching them every morning.
Like your park path Tori. We enjoy paths or trails that have that dappled sunlight. Something about being surrounded by ole' Mother Nature.

I love the backlight on the ducklings, great Easter photo!

This is such a nice topic.  When I went out this morning I noticed that over the years I have paid less and less attention to what is out there in my neighbourhood. 

I saw that the the city placed floating islands in the canal and the birds are building nests there. 
Also lovely little potted floral arrangements that residents place on the sidewalks.   :)

Mhayes

Beautiful says it all, but now I am so jealous! Things are just starting to leaf out here and my only hope was that a storm would come through before nightfall--now it is at 10 pm. I'll think of something and in the meantime I will sulk.  ;)

This has been a really fun subject--keep it up.  :up:
