My Scottish bluebells are starting to bloom

Scottish bluebell

j00j

I found local peas at the market last week. They were time-consuming to shell, but tasty and the pods were interesting to look at.

( decay, and a likely cause )

I keep going outside to look at the tomatoes, which are producing a ton of flowers:

( two more closeup, and one decay )

A wishbone from a chicken, thoroughly dry, sitting in a patch of sun.

So apparently it's dragonfly mating season... fortunately I didn't get shots of that per se, but I did get some fabulous shots of the suitors and suitees.

From two different ponds in the middle of Chicago... (click to make the bugs bigger)

The last few days have finally been nice and warm so yesterday I picked the year's first strawberries.

( one more close-up and two decay under the cut )

Pelargoniums or geraniums, whatever you call them, here they are!

A closeup of the flowers of some kind of spiraea.
