I suppose I’m a little addicted to blogging since I thought I would share a quickie post today for Wordless Wednesday before I come back with my weekly Sunday Stills feature on April 17th.
Here in Eastern Washington, I’m walking amongst early spring’s wildflowers.
Mountain daffies grow wild on the mountainsides.
Sunday Stills will be back on Easter Sunday, April 17th with a color challenge featuring no color. Huh? Unless you consider diamond and/or quartz a color…definitely a challenge!
Here are two more early spring wildflowers covered in recent water droplets to fuel your imagination for the “diamond and quartz” color challenge.
Sharing for Cee’s FOTD and Dawn’s Spring Festival.
See you Sunday!

Those are beautiful, Terri. These are so different than domesticated flowers, aren’t they?

With all the rain we’ve had, there seem to me more variety this spring, Jacqui. Soon the arrowleaf sunflowers will bloom everywhere 💛

Wow! Those flowers are gorgeous! Thanks for the reminder – and tip – on your coming diamond and quartz challenge. I don’t have a lot of either of those lying around, so finding the color other ways is probably the way I’ll go! 🙂 And it’s good to have you back!

Lovely daffodils, Terri! I had some this year. My daughter bought five bags of tulips and two bags of daffodils from Costco. I was busy helping her plant during the last trip seeing her. She gave me some bulbs. I planted the tulips and saved the daffodils for next year. Which part of Washington are you? I forgot. It would be interesting to see your Sunday Still with no color.

Hi Miriam! We’re in Nine Mile Falls a little north of Spokane. I would love to do some planting like you describe. Just enjoying the wildflowers for now. The “clear” photo challenge (think diamond and quartz) should be fun! Where are you located?

I loved your quickie post, Terri. My daffys were out and they all got squashed by an unexpected dump of snow! You spring blooms are beautiful. Thanks for the smiles!

Thanks, Diana! Oh, so sorry about your squashed daffys! Sadly I’ve seen that happen more often than not, especially when we visited Lake Tahoe in May a few years ago.

🙂 Snow this late in the year is super rare, so I’m not boo-hooing too bad. Spring is on its way.

Beautiful flowers Terri – our wildflowers are not poking through the ground, nor carpet of leaves yet due to our wintry weather, maybe a couple of weeks yet.
