Spring or Summer?

I can't tell whether Spring came and went or not. (It is June after all.) The last several days have been in the 50's so I really couldn't even figure out where Spring was! Then I started looking at more recent pictures and realized it is indeed greener. Here is a photo of Andrew and I (when Jan and Alan were here.) I guess it was pretty green then... I have a hard time trusting people who put me on their shoulders. Here is a more recent update of the Goose Family.This is a shot of our driveway. You would laugh if you saw our first attempt to mow this thing. This is a close look as the Soy beans planted in our farm field as they first broke the ground. They are now a couple of inches taller.Since this is our first Spring/Summer in this house, it is fun to see what pops up around here. This flower (a type of yellow snapdragon I think) surprised me this week.I like to take pictures of dandelions for some reason. They are pesky plants but quite photogenic.And my last donation for the day: a dried prairie weed of some type. I thought it looked cool in black and white.

I enjoyed seeing the pictures. The goose family is so cute, not to mention the couple on the first picture! Is that strip of lawn your driveway? Not exactly like So. Cal!! The yellow flower reminded me of one we saw in Glacier N.P.which was called "Butter and Eggs"!

I believe the flower is "Butter and Eggs" it is in the same flower family.

Enjoyed seeing the photo again of you on Andrew's shoulders! Those are great nature photos. You are really good at those, Alissa.

I especially like the photo of the soybeans coming up! How do you get so close? And how do you keep your hand so still? Great job!
