april showers

Right I know today is the hottest day in the UK this year but that hasn't made it here and once I move North, it will be even longer till spring comes but that said we have had some color and so for us all still feeling chilly I have some flowers to show
Found some snow drops

Buds of a something

I thought this color was lovely

This is Waterloo Ontario and although a dull day, I thought that this was rather a cool shot and the reflection brill

The boys in the antique place I found there

Niagara Falls Canada

This is so awesome and the noise of the water really amazing

But I just want to say, it was properly cold

That white stuff off the cliff....next to the fall, is ice cliffs

In Winter time the Plane Trees are just white bight against the blue sky. I love them and never get a good shot. This is as good as it gets in West Chester PA

After the rain and jolly daffodils

Forsythia 

I was told what this was and instantly forgot but beautiful

Some parrot tulips
These black branches really caught my eye one morning




The blossom is ignoring the weather, well any bit of sun and out it bursts

The magnolias have braved it too

This cherry is like cotton candy



Ah the blossom

Lovely daffs

Sunshine! and blossoms


Being a bit artsy


and a lovely blue sky

I love this one and the light sneaking in

There really isn't anything nicer than blossom. It is just glorious

The streets do have the blossoms lining their edges

The red bud is a particular fav

Ah look braces off. Now maybe that's better than blossom

More streets being lined

Magnolias are magnificent

I do love this picture. 

But this might be an all time great

You know, trees are hard to take a picture of. They are just so big! and you just don't get the effect right at all. This tree is just so full of spring surrounded by the half asleep trees. But I had to include it. It is in the park around the corner and I was mesmerized by it

But here it the absolute piece de resistance ! My favorite of all time the horse chestnut. How glorious and bursty spring is thing fella. Just boom, and it explodes into life. !!!

Special magnolia the light in this is just sublime.
Hopefully these signs of spring cheer. I love the colors and life just brimming. Happy Spring!
