Flocks of Phlox.....

Spring arrived late this year....it's been grey, cold, rainy and everything bloomed later than usual in Port Washington. For the past week or so Fenway and I have been taking our walks along the water, watching the gulls soar and scream and trying to spot the two or three white pelicans still hanging around. Yesterday Dave came home after a walk up the bike path to say he'd never seen so many flowers in bloom.

So this morning Fen and I walked north up the path....and Dave was right. We always enjoy pink phlox in the spring....but this year there is an explosion of the little blooms everywhere. They line the path....

They march up the bluff and line the stream's edge.

  

They cover the flat field where we often spot deer.

We spotted two deer....one with his antlers just starting to show, still covered with felt, standing right at the edge of the path. He just watched Fenway as we went by....never moved.

I was impressed with the lovely little blooms......

....Fenway, not so much.
