Squirrely is waiting for the blooms to turn to berries.
The cherry blossoms,
and shallon blooms will soon make him fat & happy.
The rhododendrons,
are a blooming,
glory.
While the iris,
are dramatic divas.
Piers Japonica looks like sci-fi critters ready to up-root and walk away!
Cheers to you from blooming Washington & Oregon~

Beautiful pictures. ❤️
Grazie mille ꨄ
Wonderful pictures. I remember cherry blossoms in Japan. Boy were they a sight to see.
Yes! I have only seen photos. Incredible in Kyoto according to my kids. Thank you Andrew & cheers ꨄ
The squirrel picture is inviting Cindy. Have a nice weekend
Happy you liked Squirrely & happy weekend! ꨄ
Beautiful flowers.
Happy you enjoyed them! ꨄ
Your photos are always stunning, Cindy 🙂 Cherry blossoms are a delight to behold. The pair of Piers Japonica trees reminds me of flamenco dancers.
Oh my, YES! Flamenco dancers absolutely! Thank you Rosaliene & happy weekend ꨄ
A happy weekend to you, too, Cindy!
ꨄꨄ
Beautiful ❤️
So appreciated! Thanks much & cheers ꨄ
My pleasure.
ꨄꨄ
LOVE all of these blooms, Cindy. Your pics are fabulous.
I’m so happy the squirrel will get chubby!
Piers Japonica-wow!
You are travelling in a lush part of the world. I’m sure you are having the best time. ❦❦
Cheers back to Resa & thank you sincerely. Piers Japonica sounds like a talk show host! Have a great weekend ꨄ
Agree, and trees should have a talk show of their own! ❦❦
ꨄꨄꨄ
beauty blooming everywhere!
Love your alliteration! ꨄ
You captured the blooms beautifully. The iris was especially dramatic. Cheers!
Cheers to you Jonell & thank you for stopping by ꨄ
Beautiful blooms, Cindy! 🌸
Thank you Terri & cheers my friend ꨄ
So beautiful.
Grazie mille Gigi ꨄ
Glorious blooms! Thanks Cindy💐 Those pieris are so funny❣️
The Pieris looked like a sequel to “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” part II. ‘Attack of the Killer Pieris!’ Happy Weekend Val ꨄ
Beautiful blooms! Nice captures, Cindy,
Thanks so much & Happy Weekend ꨄ
Oh my, what loveliness! I hadn’t realized rhododendrons grew out west; of course, I can’t have them in my yard because they’re toxic to dogs.
I didn’t know that about dogs. They won’t grow at The Holler so they are always a treat when I see them. Happy Weekend Debbie ꨄ
Happy squirrel. Beautiful Blooms
Thank you Kathy & Happy Saturday! ꨄ
Beauties all. Spring is springing into summer.
Cheers to you John & Happy Spring. (Somehow this reply got lost!) Thanks my friend & be well ꨄ
🙏🙏🙏

Your blooms are beautiful! Thank you, Cindy!
Thank you more Jennie, for your kind thoughtfulness ꨄ
You’re welcome!

Beautiful blooms, Cindy, and the Japonica is very pretty, and fascinating.
Thank you Eugi. Japonica reminds me of Katherine Hepburn, ‘The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower…’ Cheers to you my friend & thanks for stopping by ꨄ
You are most welcome, Cindy. You are surrounded by so much beauty, and I enjoy you sharing it, Hugs!
Sharing with you Eugi makes my life richer. Be safe & well.
Lovely.
Grazie ꨄ
Beautiful! I love the cherry blossoms! 🌸
I love them too. They are a rarity for me, so are very appreciated when I see them in bloom ꨄ
Yes as things become yummy in come the brats here as well.
Cute little brats! Cheers to you Eunice ꨄ
What gorgeous, thick, healthy flowers. Cindy, they’re breathtaking. I wasn’t familiar with the shallons — interesting. Squirley does look like he’s anticipating! I got a kick out of the scifi critter plant. LOL. Hugs.
The shallons were new to me too and so delicate and unusual. Squirrely will be fat & happy soon and so will the bears. I like happy bears! Cheers to you Teagan & thank you for dropping by ꨄ
So much spring beauty!
Yes! We need it! Happy Spring ꨄ
Excellent Cindy. In front of my library/office window, there’s a cherry tree. Rascal E.Squirrell eats the flowers…🙄
Hi Cindy, thank you for these beautiful photographs!

Beautiful flowers and squirrel looks ready for action. The last one does look like science fiction character.
Squirrely is wise and waiting. He knows those flowers will soon turn to berries. Cheers to you Lakshmi & thank you for stopping by ꨄ
Glorious and wonderful photos, Cindy…brimming with life.
Ahhh…. Thank you Jet. I was just over at your blog minutes ago marveling at your wonderful photography ꨄ
Most of my spring blooms are over. But I’ve got some new ones that will hopefully last throughout the summer.
Oh good. The Holler does the same. Enjoy Jules & be well my friend ꨄ

Great photos, Cindy. The squirrel is so cute, and your flowering plant photos are quite beautiful. ~Nan
Honored. Thank you sincerely & be well ꨄ
Piers Japonica looks like it’s on a stealth mission! Amazing growth all over the trunks. The squirrel looks too eager and focused. Cute.
Yes! Piers is blending in with the plants and trees, before he maraudes off to do who knows what mayhem? Cheers to you and to your family my friend ꨄ
Thank you!
The BLOOMS!!! I think we must try a couple rhododendrons!! We haven’t tried them here!
Love sci-fi reference! Once you see it you can’t unsee it!
Oh, the world of squirrels! 🐿️ such a vibe!
