Beauty beneath our feet . . .
. . . because we need the reminder. Here's some pics from down by the lake the weekend before last, as spring declared its commencement.
A very fluffy double daffodil ready for its close-up.
Here's one of the little wildflowers that have run riot in all the brown patches among the grass. I don't know its name . . .
. . . but they are hanging out and partying with forget-me-nots all through the grass.My camera has trouble with certain shades of blue and purples, ironically enough, so it always washes out the blueness of these flowers.
And here's an adorable little hobbit lass practicing her stone throwing skills so she can help protect the Shire.
Swamp cabbages: almost more green than you can possibly handle first thing in the spring. They make me happy--they spring out of the ground so big and green, they look like a child drew them onto the landscape with her chartreuse crayon.
Daffodils along a path that had not yet shed winter's grip. But spring has since won there, all the same.
Myrtle flowers bringing pieces of the sky down to live among the fallen leaves.
My beloved hard-working Bradford pears that line many of the roads in this area with a snowy display first thing in the spring before the cherries get going. Like the cherries, they went into bloom and went past peak all in a day or two due to last week's summer temps, so it wasn't a great year for them. Still, we're supposed to have good spring weather for the next few weeks, so a couple of waves of spring blossoms that have been waiting for their chance are all blooming at once now. I will chronicle their displays as I can.
Love to you all! *hugs*
