Blue Beauties

I found these tiny blue flowers in the midst of our front garden as I was weeding, and could not help taking a picture or two.

Each flower is only about as big as the tip of my pinky finger.

Sometimes beauty comes in small packages.

Rain-Soaked Walk

Here are the rest of the pictures I promised from my walk! I got a lot of pictures of raindrops, since it was sprinkling, and it also had rained the day before. I hope you like them!

I thought the contrast was cool with the new and old leaves

Two different stages of dandelions. Isn't it amazing how you can see the individual seeds?

I love how the raindrops look like little crystal jewels.

like pearls along a strand of grass

I forget what this flower is called, but isn't it just gorgeous?

Flowers for Photography Contest

Johanna at An Old-Fashioned Girl is hosting a photography contest, and the theme is flowers, which is just up my alley. ;) The deadline is May 15th, so go on over there and enter!

Here are the pictures I'm entering (and they are completely unedited, except for some cropping, and my watermark on them):
