12 of 12 - the May edition
It’s that time of the month again… lol. Time for Chad’s 12 of 12. It’s a cool concept and you should go and check it out the other 12 of 12’s if you get a chance.
I warned you yesterday, the pictures were lacking. But I was able to make up for it last night. Honestly, there is nothing like spring in Michigan.
7:30 AM – I was chasing Hunter around the house with the camera… literally. This is the one shot I got that wasn’t so blurry. Even tho’ a couple of the blurry ones were kind cool.
5:46 PM – Flowers from a planter hanging in the back yard. Cool colors together.
5:47 PM – Even dead flowers can make a cool picture.
5:47 PM – I love finding hearts in unusual places. Here is a heart in the freshly tilled dirt of my flower garden. I hope it’s a sign of a garden to be filled with love.
5:52 PM – Kev making dinner… tacos, yummy.
6:40 PM – This is the poppy plant that we bought last weekend to plant in one of my flower gardens. It was frosty out these past couple of nights, so it’s living inside for right now. I love the colors of the flowers. 
6:42 PM – Hunter outside… of course. Actually he is playing with the bird feeder.
6:58 PM – Here is a pic of my new highlights. I’m not having the best hair day, but you get the idea. NOTE: of course it looks much better today. Lol
~*~ Yard tour begins here~*~
7:25 PM – This is a close up of the flowers on my Twisted Weeping Lavender. It really is the coolest tree.
7:30 PM – I thought the light looked cool coming thru’ the back of the pear tree.
7:30 PM – Apple blossoms. There are so many this year, it’s great. Last year a late frost killed everything off and we only had one apple on this particular tree.
7:31 PM – My multi-tasking man! Kev is pushing Hunter on the swing and playing catch with Tyler. And yes, Tyler is sticking his tongue out. LOL
There you have it. I hope you enjoyed the backyard tour. Thanks to Chad for hosting this monthly exercise.

You take such beautiful pictures, Sheryl.
And Hunter is such a doll!

I SWEAR next month I am going to participate in 12 of 12. I say that every month though *sigh* Our weather channel says we may get snow tomorrow night so looking at these blooming colorful flowers is pretty nice AND I love the highlights in your hair!

Those are such lovely photos. I don’t have a lot of patience with flowers — growing them, I mean. I’m great with weeds, though!
@ Joy — you should totally do 12 of 12! It’s a lot of fun!
Nice 12!

Your flowers are so beautiful; thanks for sharing your day. Go get that lens! I lucked into mine, but watch the buy/sell threads at ILP and the POTN.
I can’t get over your pictures, Sheryl. They are GORGEOUS. Oh, and Xan has those PJs, too!
Girl, I can’t wait for this weekend!
All those flower pictures are so lovely! I esp like the “Twisted Weeping Lavender” one - I’ve never heard of that. We have just regular old lavender, but it looks quit different from that.
Hunter is also super adorable. Such great eyes.

I have a kick-ass camera and I still can’t take photographs half as amazing as yours.
Love all your flowers!

Sorry I’m so behind on commenting - been a very busy time with lots of travel! Even my 12 of 12 was only up on the 15th!
