Morning coffee

Sitting on the deck yesterday morning watching the sunrise and the birds play and drinking my coffee - had to get the camera to capture two of my favorites.
The poppy is a beautiful pain in the gardening butt! It has very deep roots and expands its territory overnight sometimes. But the colors and shapes are beautiful - just have to manage it.
The Meyer lemon tree is now beginning its spring re-creation.  Leaves and flowers and then the wonderful scent of the lemon tree (remember the old song - or are you too young?).
Enjoy - moments like these are what make getting up in the morning worth every pain!
