Thanks, Jodi! I think mine's a little younger than yours - love how you can see the size and grace in your shot:-) ((((((Linda))))) so nice to see you!!! Love this thread and everybody's photos - it means a lot to be able to share here again.

Sandy, it looks like a version of a Trout Lily to me. Nicole, what an exotic creature! Ron, what's with all the dents? Do people throw things at that museum? :-) My plum trees are in full flower this week:

Wonderful pictures as always. I wait till the end of the day to view them. They always make me smile. Karen those clouds look like snow drifts. Kittywhiskers, that's Bleeding Heart Vine. Very common in Florida.

Lydia these are summer homes (cottages) and the road is really just one lane, just a road to get to the homes. But, yes, many houses in small communities in Newfoundland are built very close to the road. I think it came about before roads were used for cars but they kept the same roads and paved them and now they're the only roads in the towns and some homes are practically touching the roads. I wouldn't want to live like it but there isn't much traffic in small towns like that anyway.
