Animal Wednesday: Tiptoe Through The Crocus

We haven't lived in this house for too long so imagine my surprise when I looked out the window the other day and saw at least 500 crocuses! At first I wondered what 'all that stuff' was in the yard, thinking somehow that litter of some kind blew in. The yard hasn't seen any love for quite sometime, I'm sure, but on this day it was very special to me. I can't wait to see what else 'pops up!'
As I was taking the shot little Miss Emma spotted a squirrel and began the chase!
I think maybe she was happy about the crocus-fest and she couldn't contain her enthusiasm! Well, she did trample a few of them.
Happy Animal Wednesday!

  2. What a delightful surprise! Driving to work yesterday I encountered an entire field of daffodils - it was the same kind of thing you experienced. So lovely.

    I love how your kitty is running through the shot. Great photo!

  7. Lo, what a BEE-utiful surprise for you! You know how I adore those colours! It will be fun to see what pops up in your yard next!

    Gray skies have returned to SF after a lovely week - it looks like Winter and Spring are going to "do battle" for a while...

    Enjoy your day!

    Love,

  9. Oh how absolutely delight to look out and see this spring surpise. I loved seeing what would come up naturally when we first moved here. but its still a surprise when I plant something and it comes up, because you forget what you planted where by the time spring comes along again. Thanks for sharing. wish it had been a bit bigger photo to see.

  16. Oh, that's just gorgeous - I love that about new places - hopefully there'll be lots more nice surprises. Being in these warmer climes means I haven't seen crocuses for years! I adore those kissing rabbits you've got there. And what a big girl your Miss Emma is!!

  21. Ahhhh, spring (in one's step too, that's obvious!). There was a house in the town where I used to live that had their whole front lawn planted with crocuses, so long before the grass started growing, it was a mass of blooms. I used to drive out of my way just to see it.

    Love the kissing rabbits!
