I look forward to the lilies that bloom in my back garden. They look and smell wonderful, and provide for a convenient exercise in macro photography. They are a welcome sight on a -26 degree morning.

A clematis grows up a small metal frame by the wall of my back patio. I always wonder if it will survive the winter. This is a blossom that survived, before the new growth started to appear.

Aptly named fiddlehead ferns that grow along the fence just outside my patio door. After about a week or so the ferns stretch upward and lose that distinctive fiddlehead, so I always set aside some time to capture this lovely sign of spring.

This past summer my back garden produced some lovely flowers, including this cosmos. What an invitation to practice using my new macro lens. I'm still learning!

The flowers in my back garden show a remarkable array of colours, including this bright yellow and lavender beauty, with brown spikes around the centre as a bonus.

A bergamot in the back garden. Bergamot blossoms usually seem to be red, but this shows a violet colour.

The forecast for overnight was for possible frost, so I wanted to capture an Image of this delicate beauty before it is gone.
