Signs of Spring on the Coast


Here is a melange of flowers and foliage from our garden today, mostly pinks and purples (and i stole the star magnolia from the neighbour's tree!). if i could put birdsong on the blog, that would have been our first sign (sing?) of spring.

How very beautiful! All of my favourite colours! Did Nicholas and Ollie help you gather the flowers?

Maureen said...

wow, MB that's really beautiful - you're getting good with that scanner. I think I know how to put birdsong on the blog, but it wouldn't be your birds ... :)

Maureen said...

okay -- I made you a Mp3 file of some birds and rain (figured that would be about what you might be hearing outside your window ...) heh. And I put it in the post. Does it work for you?

Pat Shaughnessy said...

Very nice Maureen and the rain is perfect...especially for Vancouver!

Mary Shaughnessy said...

yes, maureen, it works very well. at first i clicked on the hypertext above the sound bar and it took me to a hand-drawn picture that didn't make any sense at all. how do you make an MP3 file?
