Neighbors' blossoms

Since the neighborhood is bursting with beautiful spring blossoms I decided to bring the good ol' $139. digital camera with me when I walked Jordan today. The following were taken at neighbors' houses. Unfortunately none of these are in our yard.
I thought these purple tulips were gorgeous. You see lots of red, yellow and pink tulips, but you rarely see purple ones. I love tulips. My mother grew them in our front yard and the sight of tulips still congers up memories of early spring.
These lavendar-colored phlox are one of my favorites, too. We had phlox in several colors in our front yard when I was growing up. Lavendar, purple, magenta, pink, and white. Creeping phlox are great because they spread. Each spring they're larger and fuller.
This is a Bradford pear tree in full bloom. Beautiful!
These are super-sized yellow tulips. The yellow is so deep yet bright at the same time.

(Beautiful pics) Your questions!

1. Do you still wonder what you want to be when you grow up?

2. What is the circumference of your (fill in the blank)?

3. What is the most frightened you've ever been?

4. How did you discover the joys of the male machinery? Did it scare you?

5. Ever done drag?

Alternate question if you'd like to substitute one: What is your favorite dessert?

Cheers,
