Oh, just one more photo of grape hyacinths before they give way to summer temperatures of 80 degrees.

This is my view, after falling out of the tree . . .
Hilarious, Brian. And, fall out you would, too.
beautiful, the colors, the purpleness. reminds me of the quote
“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.”
Alice Walker
Oh, I’ve been late with responding back to comments! But, this quote is so marvelous, Tipota!
Gorgeous picture. It looks like a picture that should go with a poem by Emily Dickinson or someone similar :D
Dragonmage06, I have a friend who lives and breathes Emily Dickinson. I should ask him!
Tremendous depth of field for one photo. Same principles apply in painting- where you’d want the detail in the foreground and larger, more vague strokes in the background.
You’re an artist through the lens.
Bonnie, these things do the painting, I just have to bend down! Creaking sound, do you hear it?
tysdaddy? climb a tree? doubtful.
Anyway, gorgeous color! Those spring colors don’t last long enough.
Arynsmom, I’m laughing cuz I was having trouble picture Brain climbing a tree, too! The high heat these past few days have just about exhausted the spring blooms!
Pat – I can smell them! I can! Beautiful shot from the worm’s eye view. Even though I don’t really warm to purple, I must say I love it in nature because its strength is so arresting.
Epic! You must have a really, really good sense of smell (like all good cooks) because even when I’m inches away from these flowers, I can’t smell a thing!
Reminds me of my mother’s garden. Always has hyacinths.
Chris, They are one of my favorite spring flowers because they last so long. Although this past few days of high heat has taken its toll! I don’t think they’ll be anymore muscari photos till next spring.
Beautiful shot.
I wish I could take at least 1 good shot of anything floral.
I’m really not a pansy-boy, it seems.
Yes, you are a pansy boy. Straighten those shoulders, hold your head high! We need more of them!
