Another gorgeous but uneventful day in Sitka folks. Sad to say but very true.
So today Connie, being the best house-sitter/friend/photographer that she is, took pictures of the garden.

Up the driveway here to the Adams' house lie a bed of primroses, which I found out was something more than just a character from the book today. Connie was going to pluck them and so she decided to take some pictures in the process.
              Now you see them.......

                  ....... Now you don't!

While outside enjoying the warm beautiful weather, Connie took a few other shots...

This here is what we call the "Strawberry-to-be"

Here we have the "Bleeding Hearts". Can you guess how they got their name?

And last but certainly not least, we have the "Poppy!" I just found out that there are SEVERAL types of poppies that grow in all types of weather climates. It's crazy how much a simple picture of a flower can teach you!
(Apologies for the poor quality of the macro feature on the camera)

To conclude this post, I'd like to leave everybody with a question: Which flower above is your favorite? Comment your answer if you're up for it.
