I really love spring time when there are flowers blooming all over the place. Of course I pay special attention to my rose garden but also look around my neighborhood for other flowers.

Tonight I will share a few more rose pictures and also some beautiful little blooms from my neighbors across the street.

Here is a bloom on my St. Patrick rose bush. You can see the beautiful yellow color in the center and also the pale petals on the outside that have a green tint.

I really like yellow roses. They bring back several wonderful memories.

My Tropicana rose bush is a bit behind my yellow rose bushes. I am slowly watching this bloom open. I hope that it opens fully before my next trip.

I really like this rose bud. This is also from my St. Patrick rose bush. I like the blush of color on the edges of the petals.

I stepped across the street this evening to talk to my neighbors. While I was there I took pictures of the beautiful blooms on their Jasmine bush. I don’t know the specific variety of Jasmine, but perhaps one of my readers can let me know.

The fragrance of the Jasmine blossoms was so wonderful. Not only do these little blooms look pretty, but they smell good too.

I really like the depth of focus that I can get with my camera. The bloom in front is perfectly in focus and the ones in the background are out of focus.

I hope that you enjoyed this little look at spring in California.
