Slightly Off KIlter

I thought I'd share a little more spring from the SF Bay Area…

Our <a plum tree is mostly red leaves now; only 2 or 3 blossoms remain.
The <a tulips are starting to bloom; these are in a large pot on the deck by the sunroom door; they get more sun. The others (in the terrace) are still just buds.
The <a daylilies are blooming too now (yeah!).

<a This is the first of the lilacs from 4 days ago. The white lilac blooms earliest.
Here's another <a blossom from today; its really <a on a roll now.

The dark purple <a french lilac is putting out flower buds; I'm happy to see this, as the poor thing was canted way over earlier this year and had been inundated by the nearby rose bush. I dug around it, re-set it upright, trimmed the rose back. And the lilac seems to be recovering from its ordeal.

We've got some nice <a moss that grows between the stones of the footpath and between the blocks of the terrace wall. It's quite a nice lush moss, still verdant at this time of year. I think the <a closeup came out well.
