A happy, bright, and colorful thread...

[popcornbird]

...to pull everyone into a happy, bright, and colorful mood again. :D

Today was gorgeous...absolutely GORGEOUS, and the perfect day to take pictures outside. I took my camera out in the yard and snapped some pictures this afternoon, which I think turned out lovely. The beautiful weather, sunshine, blossoms, birds...everything about the day made me so happy. It was the most beautiful day. Just thought I'd share some of the bright pictures I took to make everyone on PT happy and bright again too!

A pretty flower...I would love to know what plant this is if anyone knows.

Our nectarine tree is in full bloom, and its blossoms are so beautiful, bright, and pink. I can't wait till they turn into nectarines! For now, I'm really enjoying the pretty pink flowers.

Some pics of the tiels...

Popcorn and Muffin were watching me from inside, and their reflection on the window looked so 'interesting' that I had to take pictures of it. LOL!

That's all. I hope these pictures will brighten up things on PT tonight! Let's all do our part in making PT as happy as we possibly can. :)

[CountryWolf07]

Such beautiful pics!

Gosh.. can't spring come here any fast here in Ohio.. LOL..

[catnapper]

Spring flowers already? We're hunkering down for a major snowstorm! :eek: I'm jealous!

[Karen]

I was just thinking it's been too long since we've seen those sunny California birdies! :)

Beautifu pictures, thanks for sharing!

Thanks. I'm going to sleep now, in still-snow-covered-and-more-coming New England!

[slleipnir]

Beautiful photos :) Maybe it's just me, but that bee looks really big!

[AmberLee]

What lovely photos! Pops, you dun good. ;) :p

I hadn't realized what lovely blossoms the nectarines have.

I think the purple daisies are Shasta Daisies, can anyone else confirm?


Warm regards!

[Oggyflute]

Great pics pops and good thread. It has been a tad sad this afternoon, but these pics will surely bring us a brighter feeling. :)

[jazzcat]

What happy, bright, colorful and GORGEOUS pictures!

Thank you Poppy!:)

[wolf_Q]

I loved the pics PCB! I really like the first flower one and the ones of Popcorn and Muffin. They are so beautiful! It looks like they are really posing for pictures too! :) I saw Lucky (my brother's tiel) the other day, I wish I brought my camera as I knew you would like to see him. His head is entirely white now and his body is almost all solid gray, really pretty.

[jenfer]

Beautiful pictures. I especially love the ones with the tiels and the pretty flowers. :) Thanks for posting them.

[Corinna]

Spring I would love more snow of a ton of rain.we are so dry and it hit 60 degrees today. I worry about fires this year.
Lovely flowers popcorn

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

You have such beautiful flowers, pops! You are right: they are perfect to brighten up our day!! THANKS!!!

[Logan]

The flowers are gorgeous, Popcornbird, especially beautiful against that gorgeous, blue sky!! And of course, the feathered ones look wonderful, as always!!! :) Thanks for bringing a little spring time to us!!! :)

[GraciesMommy]

Wow what beautiful colors! If that can't put you into a good mood, nothing can! Being around all that beauty, wow..thanks for sharing these~

[Holly's mom]

Those are gorgeous pictures! I can't wait until Spring arrives here, it's 2 below zero here right now, so I'll be waiting awhile.:p

Looks like a pansy to me.

Great pics. It was a beautiful day here yesterday too, got into the low70s. Today, it's snaining.

I hate Maryland in March.

[sirrahbed]

Beautiful photos - am glad I saw this thread:D Thanks Poppy!!

Here in Ohio - no blooms yet but my hyacinth, crocus and tulips are pushing their way out of the cold ground!!:D

[ChrisH]

Oh, PCB, what beautiful pictures!! :) They certainly brightened the somewhat dull skied Welsh afternoon that we have here. Thank you so much for sharing them. :D

[Rie Rie]

You are really good with a camera, those pictures are awesome!!!!

[tatsxxx11]

Finally, a bit of Spring:D Oh Pops, what spectacular shots!!! The colors are eye popping and the ones of the 'tiels against the flowers, breathtaking!:) Thanks for the smiles!

They're not pansies...definitely something else. Its more a very green leafy plant. Very pretty. The flowers just started blooming a few days ago...I had no idea it was a flowering plant until now. The whole plant looks like this.

I'm glad you all liked the pictures. :) To all of you who are jealous...we got enough pouring rain this year, so we really deserve this nice weather now...FINALLY! :D

Audrey, the bee's not big. I just zoomed into the poor guy...to make him look fat. ;) He he he!!! Those pink flowers are very tiny, as is the bee. Its just a closeup picture.

[EssTer]

:eek: :eek: GORGEOS!! That´s all I can say..Those photos are so beautiful....wow...awesome pics :D Thanx for sharing them...you´re very talented..I´ve tried to take pics of flowers, but they never turned out so good LOl :D

[K9soul]

Beautiful pics Poppy. I sure long for flowers and spring rains here with all my heart.

[jackie]

thank you for sharing, it brightened up my day!!

Such gorgeous photos:)

[dukedogsmom]

Beautiful pics! I have never seen that first flower before. Very pretty. I know it's not a Pansy but I don't know what it is. Here is a Pansy. They are one of my favorite flowers.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Wow! Sara...can we trade cities? ;) LOL!!! See...California isn't that bad, is it? ;) The weather we're having now is REAL California weather...just how its supposed to be. :p I guess the rain wasn't all that bad then. It made the landscape so lush, green, and healthy. I love it! Hope your lake in the backyard has dried out now...he he he.

Thanks everyone. I'm enjoying the weather so much I took more pictures today. :o

[Orca]

Very nice pics, the colors are amazing!

I'm getting the storm now too.

[AmberLee]

Oh, PCB, will we get to see today's photos, too? I hope so!

[slick]

God bless you, PCB, for kicking me in the butt and making me see the beauty in the world. There has been so much sadness around lately (both in my personal life and cyber life) that I needed a reminder that not all is bad.

Thanks everyone for the beautiful pictures. I wish it was sunny here and I wish I had a digicam because when the time is right, I can see the most awesome sunrises.

hugs everyone.
slick xoxo

PS you know what you need to do now, don't you? Stop what you are doing and give Popcorn and Muffin each a kissie from me and tell them that I wish things could be different and I could deliver them myself. :)

Great pictures, Pops!

[RobiLee]

Wonderful pictures, Poppy! So bright and pretty. I am longing for spring days here in Ohio. Today was not too bad. It was actually in the 60's. I just can't wait for all the spring colors to show up!

[smokey the elder]

Gorgeous pictures! It just refuses to warm up here in New York. It can barely get into the 40's F; usually we have had at least ONE 70 degree day!

[popcornbird]

LOL!!! It *did* warm up here, but now its cold/cloudy/soon-to-be-rainy all over again! Oh well. :p I'd rather have the cold stick around for awhile, as its too early for such warmth. He he he.

Thanks everyone!

[EssTer]

wow..those are amazing photos...I wish we had some better weather..well it´s quite warm, but could be warmer LOL...and we dont have any spring flowers yet :(

Thanx for sharing those photos :)
