Opening Soon

I'm still very much stuck on Spring and it continues to unfold everywhere I look. Come walk with me and I'll share some of my surroundings with you.

Beautiful shades of pink and green. These leafy buds are about to open.

My favourite fuzzy branch is about to bud into life. In a few days, I'll post another photo. It's already come a long way since this day.

Colourful maple buds, after a morning rain.

More pretty catkins. These might be elm. Or not.

Delicate white blossoms with pretty, pink stamens. What says spring better than this?

Last year's burrs still look pretty to me.

Some brand new leaves have that autumnish look to them.

A fresh rainfall encourages growth.

Thanks always for joining me on my walk. I'll have some more photos for you in a few days.

Spring Emerges

Plant life has grown considerably over the past couple of weeks. Just a short while back, branches were bare. Leaves and flowers are now in near-full bloom but during that magical time in between, I was out with my camera, snapping a few shots for emerging buds. I hope you enjoy them.

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment. ~ Ellis Peters

If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom. ~ Terri Guillemets

Spring is a true reconstructionist. ~ Henry Timrod

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~ Robin Williams

The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also. ~ Harriet Ann Jacobs

"Robins, how can you tell the difference between your eggs and the sky?" ~ Joseph Pintauro
