The bleeding hearts lasted most of May but have mostly faded now that June has arrived. Other flowers were enjoying the rare sunshine and warm temperatures.
Bleeding Hearts

Although this clump of blue color was found in my woods, it is not a wildflower, but another ‘escapee’ which used to be planted near my house. None exist by the house now, but a few Snow Glories are scattered around the lawn too. They must be celebrating Emancipation Day now that they free from the original bed. The Emancipation Day celebrated in Washington DC marks the anniversary of the signing of the Compensated Emancipation Act, which president Abraham Lincoln signed on April 16, 1862. It is annually held on April 16 but the holiday this year is observed on today instead.

It did not seem very springlike outside today with the cloudy and colder day. There is no cheerful flowers either to indicate that it is spring.

The temperature tried to get above freezing today, but the snow hasn’t melted yet so there no blooming flowers to be found outside as spring hasn’t arrived yet.

It may be up to 50 today, but with the misty, cloudy day, it doesn’t feel too warm out. And there are no blooming flowers yet to see to add any bright spots on the landscape.
No Daffodils Yet

The warmer temperatures are melting the snow but there isn’t sign of spring flowers yet even though they may arrive in March around here if there is an early spring. The yellow daffodils are always so cheerful.

The Black-eyed Susans didn’t see much sun today so they had to create their own yellow sunshine.

The bright yellow and orange flowers provide a cheerful display on a summer day.

After the rains yesterday, the flowers are drying out in today’s sunshine like these pretty pink lilies.

Things in nature is often fleeting, like seeing a deer for the few seconds before it disappears into the woods or the tree frog I just saw leaping onto a branch, so if you see something looking pretty, you better grab the camera and not plan to get it later. The peonies were in full bloom yesterday morning and this morning after the rain, the ground is covered in pink and the remaining blossoms look tattered and shaggy.
