A very Fragrant walk~

Daisy & I took a walk this evening. The Farm next door has so many beautiful trees and bushes.  It turned out to be a very fragrant walk.

Beautiful Lilacs~ They smell so good.  A Bumblebee chased me with this shot,lol

.

I can not for the life of me remember the name of this bush. It was so big, about 20 foot high.

Apple Blossoms & Daffodils

Pink Dogwood~

Bluebells~

I love the Ivy climbing up the house(btw, the home is empty)

More Apple trees~

 As I walked back through the yard, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge red Fox trying to sneak by us. In a matter of seconds, I had to make a choice.  Grab my camera and get a closeup of the Fox... or grab Daisy and keep her from harm.   As you can see, no Fox picture. By the time I picked her up and turned around, he was nowhere in sight. That is where the expression  'sly as a fox' came from, i'm sure.

 Back home in time for the Sunset~ A beautiful ending to a very lovely walk.

thank you Deb

Awesome pics Kim. I just love lilacs. I've tried a couple times to get a bush started, but between the deers and hubby, I can't keep one going. The deers eat it or hubby runs over it with the mower.
Kim B. Apr 11, 2010, 9:28pm UTC
Ahh, keep trying. They are pretty hardy bushes. Put a wire cage around it. Usually, you can dig up the babies from under a bush and transplant. I love them. So do the Bees,lol

What gorgeous photos and a lovely place to walk. We went for a walk this afternoon on our land where wildflowers are in bloom. Indian paintbrush are just beginning to bloom. So nice and relaxing.

Nora D. Apr 11, 2010, 10:06pm UTC
Very lovely photos! I keep telling myself I should start walking, but never get out and do it....our Labradoodle absolutely HATES walks, as she's terrified of other dogs in the neighborhood, so she refuses to leave the yard.....LOL!!!
Teresa W. Apr 11, 2010, 10:09pm UTC

What gorgeous flowers! I love your photos.
Sandra H. Apr 12, 2010, 1:32pm UTC
I so enjoyed your beautiful walk! The photos are wonderful!
Wow, I can't believe that house is empty! If I had the money, I'd buy it! Foxes sure are quick! I had one run through my backyard a few weeks ago and I it wasn't until a few minutes after it had gone that I even realized it was a fox! I'm sure Daisy appreciated you picking her up. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos.
Kim B. Apr 13, 2010, 10:15am UTC
thank you. yes, it has been for as long as i've been here. and that has been over 2 years. it is the loveliest farm in the area.
Marian L Apr 12, 2010, 6:29pm UTC
Beautiful shots. They are all a great representation of spring. Cool photo essay.
Debra H. Apr 12, 2010, 11:18pm UTC
Outstanding photos Kim thanks for sharing your walk.
Tonia, who hugs trees G. Apr 13, 2010, 1:38am UTC
I just noticed lilacs in bloom this weekend. What fun to share your walk :)
Patti M. Apr 14, 2010, 5:54pm UTC
There was a 40 year old lilac tree just outside our bedroom window. Our neighbors decided they didn't like it so they cut it down. Wimper, wimper. I miss the lilacs.
DIANE D. May 10, 2010, 9:58am UTC
What a beautiful post!
Donald M. May 17, 2010, 12:59pm UTC
Wow what a lovely walk with all this to see.
Sandi S. May 17, 2010, 1:02pm UTC
This was wonderful. I may come back to these photos again and again to take this walk!

Why on earth is that beautiful home empty? Ok, I can really only see that one corner of it, but it looks beautiful from that!

Thanks you, Kim. This was a delightful walk. :)
Jan S. May 25, 2010, 3:23pm UTC
In the words of Nicholas Sparks, this is "a walk to remember". Such glorious photos. The lilacs make me want to bury my face in them and inhale...checking for bees, first, of course. pif
Marilyn M. Jun 2, 2010, 6:49pm UTC
I thoroughly enjoyed the walk, Kim! Thank you so much ~ the photographs were breathtaking!
