So the adage is comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb and I think that this year that was certainly true. That we have had snow and sunshine and spring flowers has made for a varied month.
Tulips eventually but not for another month!
Wet blanketing snow fell early in the month, this was just one morning
Sort of improbable snow, look how thick it is on this blue spruce
Leaving seat cushions, if you want a cold bum!
Our lion, Miss Bella and the war on the basket
Eventually I won and house sitting returned
When the sun did come out and this was the first day of warmth,
instantly there were worker bees
I am feeling these are a different type of snowdrop
Stripey crocus, I think they are my favorite
Fabulous porch art, maybe it's called 'Green Hug'
which would be entirely appropriate for Spring!!!!
Cold frosty mornings, filled with colour
and catkins!!!! all in a row
These twigs score on the colour pop
Our late winter landscape
But you can find colour if you look and moss is flourishing
As are these mini iris
These early spring days are glorious.
It's sort of fluffy babbling brook
and waving willow that is chartreus
And onto 1975!
Cool lamp. It really is amazing what people can see with a heap of junk!
I often take this view, as it is when I get my newspaper
off the drive and if I'm lucky the morning sun is there. Like on this occasion.
and that morning sun was telling us a good day was
coming and it sure did. The crocus were blooming
Stripey petals and leaves
Fuzzy Maple
and the bucket of spring!!! Gathering maple syrup in the city
If seemed that all the colour was crocus colour
But these are a favorite and in the sunshine
they showed all those tiny shades of colour
Wow, it's a whole crop
The snow drops were also doing their thing
and they really are prefect
Yellow aconite just being bright, a yellow carpet
even in the rain they are lovely
BOSTON
Reflecting towers
Gaveyards in the city and this old church was a suprise
And here is the famous harbour!
They had tourists throwing tea boxes off the boat,
but these tea boxes had string attached for retrieval!
Oh and lots of shouting about the British
Wonderful cheery sights in the city,
this little heart caught my eye
Round is a theme here. What a great building
The building on the left seemed to be like a mirage
And even more at the end of the street. Misty night in the city
Roofs and little buildings
Steaming kettle at the Starbucks coffee shop
The sweep of these buildings caught my eye
and this dapper sculpture. Mayor Kevin White
I loved this dome, great on the outside but spectacular inside
and an old fire pole. They have lots of these over the river in Cambridge too.
All those close packed wood houses! Fire was a real terror
Quite the striking mural for the aquarium
big flag! Actually this was ginormous
Lobster weather vane
Down at the harbour in Boston
Moody streets
This is where we stayed and it was lovely inside
Inside courtyard and no rain here just shiny floor
Boston was a lovely surprise with art in the city and the most fabulous buildings.
Happy Happy Spring!
