Catching The Sunset....

This is the setting sun , a couple days ago. I do not know what it happening with my blog photos. One day I can find and load the photos I want and the next nothing. It's not behaving as it should.  So this is a small post.
  I was going to show some outdoor pictures from around the yard. No luck. So I will write about it. Some things in our yard have suffered through the winter and the on and off start of spring. Our weeping cherry never bloomed it is leafing out but sparsely. The honeysuckle is not blooming only about a dozen leaves. The hydrangeas are just starting to get leaves....not real tall.  Our red bud tree only had a small haze of flowers up high. It is leafing at least. A couple Japanese maples are in poor shape. I tell Ted one is dead...he says let's wait.
  Well I can wish all of you a wonderful day. I think we are in for some storms. I truly hope nothing serious.  Stay safe, xo

  3. The winter was hard on some of our things, too. We have had to cut away part of a white azalea as well as the hydrangea. The azalea that remains is blooming, and the hydrangea has really grown back from the roots. No blooms there, though. The weather has been really different this season. xo Nellie

    1. Nellie, I am praying for the neighbor's apple trees to be okay. I think as long as there are leaves to absorb sunshine, the tree will be okay, whether it bloomed or not.. Just won't be any fruit. Can you tell I am a city slicker.LOL. xoxo,Susie

    1. Beth, the first day I went outside a big fly flew right in my face. That just makes me crazy, how some things survive and some better things do not. xoxo,Susie

  6. That is a beautiful sunset. I often pause when I go upstairs in the evening to look over the houses at the setting sun. It is always special, and I never tire of it.

  12. It sure has been strange weather. We thought the cold was over until this past weekend. We had to have the heat. Now, it's warming back . Some of my flowers froze out this winter and some didn't do as good. Hope the storms wasn't to bad. Hugs and love, xo

  14. Hi Susie, thanks for the support, appreciate it.

  17. Well, it is a beautiful sunset, Susie. Your yard sounds like ours. Nothing much blooming and stuff is very bedraggled looking. It is a SAD Spring so far.

    Hope you had a great day- xo Diana

  18. I love sunset shots. You can't get real good ones around here because of all the trees and buildings. Got some nice ones on Martha's Vineyard a couple of years ago. Hope to get more in a couple of weeks.
    Lovely shot.
