Only the Columbine are Blooming

Once again, I woke to the sound of steady rain; I know the drier, warmer days are coming, and I'm ready.  Meanwhile, my peonies are budded out, but only one has opened.  Those pesky little columbine are showing up in various places in my flower beds.  This pretty purple one has been edited with R H West's Divine and Serenity.

Flowers and Textures

I know that I could spend hours adding textures to my flower images---just something more to distract me from what I should be doing!   This is an early peony blossom from my mother's garden with RH West's texture, Lucille.
