Around the Neighbourhood

I've been out for a ride whenever the weather permits, and the flowers are showing up quickly.  Lots of nice colour and lots of promise for later.  In fact I have so many photos I don't know what to do with them all.  This ride was mostly along Thompson Street, which is really nice to ride on because it's new pavement from one end to the other, no painful bumps.

I think this is a Creeping Thyme, but it's the colour that hit me!

I'm always glad to see someone hosting Dandelions for the bees.

And this is the season when the tiny daisies begin appearing in the grass.

Around the corner on Trowbridge Street there's a steep slope that's been partly colonized by Vinca or Periwinkle.

There are two large Magnolia on my route, gorgeous small trees, but I fear the flowers start to go brown as soon as they bloom.

And one final future blooming shrub, a Spirea that will be covered in tiny white blossoms later in the summer.
