First Plants and Flowers...allright!

Brad at work. It was nice and sunny when I started shooting today, but the clouds rolled in and changed the light, requiring a little exposure help from some small strobe lights.

The first flowers on the patio this year.

Brad planted 2 of these today. Not sure how he got them here, as he doesn't drive. Brad has a way of getting things done.

It's still a little bare out here, but a big improvement over a couple days ago.

I swore a blood oath that this year I would learn the names of everything Brad planted. I'm off to a poor start, as I haven't a clue what kind of plant this is. I should bring a legal pad with me every time I shoot on the patio and write this stuff down. We'll see.

New garden hose for this year. Like a Slinky with H2O guts.

Man, it's good to see some real green after 6 months of gray and brown, slush and ice and long, dark nights.
Still a lot of "empties" on the patio.

The communal grill. Nothing like the smell of cooking with charcoal.

It looks and smells like rain on the way. Time to pack the gear up, download the shots, and see what we have today.
