This is my first time to participate in Outdoor Wednesday! To see more outdoorsy posts go over to see Susan over at A Southern Daydreamer.
People have really enjoyed pictures of the scenery in my area. We have some new pictures and I thought I would share those for today.
There are a lot of these pink flowering trees around. Well, kind of. I think many are now losing the flowers and starting to leave out. There are many white flowering ones too.
I got this picture on my way home from work one day last week. I was just enthralled with all the contrasts and had to stop and get a picture. Those are cows in the field there. I get this kind of beauty every day I go to and from work.
I feel so lucky that I do not have to do any freeway driving to get to my job.
Here is another one taken on the same day. No sun shining here though. That white spot on the hill (the top white spot) is a truck driving along the hillside there. The lower white spot just above the building is actually a fake painted cow. I don't know if you can see it when you enlarge the picture. I was wishing I had better zoom capabilities so I can get a better shot of that cow.
I am still parked in the same place here, but moved the camera to the right to get this one. I just love all that yellow. Those are the mustard flowers.
Saturday was a beautiful day. Hubby suggested we take a drive to get this shot. This field is the most brilliant yellow field around. I got out of the car to get this shot since there was not enough room to pull over. Hubby pulled into a driveway then I had to walk back to get this. I never realized how strong the scent is when you are near the flowers. It is actually a nice fragrance. I can see why this time of the year can be bad for those allergic to these flowers. My aunt is one of them.
Here is a close up of the flowers. I just love that yellow.
Spotted this blooming tulip tree on our little jaunt. I had to ask hubby to pull over so I can get a picture of this too.We also spent some time on our beautiful Saturday out in our yard pulling weeds.
Still have plenty more of that to do.
Perhaps this Saturday we will get out there and do more weed pulling.
The rains have them growing like crazy now.

Beautiful landscapes, flowers and trees! Lovely!
Really beautiful photos. I especially love the yellow flowers.
What great pictures! Happy OW!
Looks like spring has arrived there...just beautiful.
I really do envy you. The stuff I get to look at when I'm near home, is pretty horrid compared to what you get to see.
There are some beautiful Azaleas blooming nearby. Maybe I can get a shot of those, the next time I'm out and about. Maybe the hubby will take me for a drive on Friday or Saturday!
Lovely! Where do you live? Obviously you aren't encumbered by the winter weather many are dealing with. Either am I, down here in Florida!
Hi, Linnea! So glad you joined us today! These are truly lovely photos! That shot of the cows with the hills in the background is gorgeous.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday (or OW)!
XO,
Sheila :-)

Just gorgeous Linnea! I hope you play this every Wednesday!!
I think I'm gonna sneeze looking at all the flowers. Just kidding, they are gorgeous! I'd have to say Spring has arrived in your neck of the woods.
Hi Linnea! Oh, what lovely pictures and I especially love the tulip tree! Wish I had one. They do grow here! Hope all is well in your world.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
I really enjoyed your beautiful pictures. I would never tire of looking at those beautiful yellow fields. I love the pretty pink tulip tree against the brilliant blue sky.
Best Wishes

Wow, what beautiful scenery! Great choice for today.
Have a great Wednesday!
Oh, thanks so much for sharing these amazings photos with us...
Hi Linnea,
I really enjoyed seeing your corner of the world through your eyes. Where I live the developers won't allow large undeveloped expanses of land. LOL They would fill your beautiful vistas with condos, more's the pity.
All the best, Lana @ Showers of Blessings
Good evening Linnea! I love all these outdoor shots of yours. Just beautiful!

If that is the view you pass by everyday then how fortunate and blessed you are.
It'll surely melt all the stress you may get from work :-)
I left something for you over at my place today. Come on over and get it!!!
Awesome! It totally makes me wish I was there! Love your pictures.
Linnea,

Hi Linnea,
I love to see the beautiful photos from around where you live. So lovely! The flowers and flowering trees are really pretty.
I also really love your photos at the top of your blog title, the banners and all. The one with the shoes is great! I've not seen one like that before. We are keeping Lent in our home, and I always enjoy seeing what others are doing.
Cheers for now!
I love all your photos - just beautiful. It's been lovely catching up on your posts. Thanks for your kind comments. Yes, I will be returning for another massage, and we'll see where we go from there; but, oh, the relief! It's been wonderful! I hope you're having a lovely weekend. Naomi

Hope you see this ...a lady in Lakeland won the HGTV 2009 Dream House!! Libby called to see if it was me...no it wasn't gosh darnit..we could have been neighbors!!!
We are so blessed to live here, aren't we? I got some great shots on Saturday and I love the beauty around us this time of year.

Wow Linnea!! Those are GORGEOUS. I especially LOVE that one with the shadows and the mountains. So glad you have a pretty drive. :)
How gorgeous it is where you live. I would give anything to be there right now. It's downright ugly and rainy here!
Hi Neabear,
