Tulips Give Nod To Easter

BRIGHT TULIPS are one of the first signs of Easter and spring. Two beautiful blooms nodded their heads as I walked by recently. Their colourful hue seemed a perfect fit for Orange You Glad It's Friday.

Plain Old Fence Gets Showy

THIS PLAIN old fence linked to GOOD FENCES is visited each spring by the same perennial flowers. The colourful blooms that seemingly need no care or guidance appear every year like a fresh coat of paint along the border.

Fence-Hopping Over Easter At Crescent Beach

THIS FENCE alongside the puddle strew path at Crescent Beach is a barrier discouraging people from straying onto the low-lying tidal area.

Following the wood and wire fence eventually leads to the sea. Normally, seagulls land on the posts and settle there like sentinels.

One day I saw balloons bouncing on a string alongside the fence.

A nearby paneled fence has a picket pattern, thanks to the shadows. There is not usually a rabbit peeking out from the other side.

But it is the Easter season and for several years now pink and blue bunnies hop onto the lawn to greet passersby. It is also the time when tulips reappear.

The freshly painted white fence bordering one home keeps people and pets from trampling on the healthy blooms. The flowers are a burst of colour during the religious holiday and compel all who walk by to marvel at the rebirth of life.

Goddess Iris Gets Floppy In The Rain

PETALS on rain-drenched irises droop like the long ears of a lop-eared rabbit. Although the flower comes in a rainbow of colors and (in ancient Grecian times) was known as goddess of the rainbow, I see the bloom mostly in shades of purple and yellow in my southwest corner of BC.
