The daffodils in our yard. (One of Les's rules is not to show something from one's own garden but my son is enamored with the daffodils, and we inherited them with the house.)
The western side of our block is lined with redbuds.
I really like hydrangeas in bloom but their winter state is pretty compelling, too!
Hellebore. Lenten rose, but not a true rose.
Lots of forsythia in the neighborhood.
The neighborhood is graced with many saucer magnolia trees, and this might be my favorite of the one's I have seen. Another commonly seen tree in the neighborhood is the tulip poplar, and it too has a stunning flower.
Winter is still hanging on -- dried crape myrtle seedpods. Also, snow is forecasted for tonight and tomorrow. Happy Spring!

Thank you for walking again this year Georgia. That magnolia is luscious. If we ever move to home with a larger garden, I want to have several of these trees. They are too fleeting for the small garden I have now. That particular hellebore is nice too.
ReplyDeleteRain can really add a lot more light to photos than one would think. I particularly love whites and yellows that are photographed under cloudy skies or in the rain. Thanks for braving the elements.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Marilyn! I'll keep your take on photographing in the rain and feel blessed this spring.
DeleteTrees growing next to the streets - what will Virginia DOT think! They won't cut the grass in the medians due to tight budgets, but they have enough money to cut down the hell-strip tress people plant in my neighborhood.
