So this was the begining of April. In the in like a lion and lamb situation, felt this was more like a saber tooth ! It was a day that gave snow, then ice and ended with rain.
I loved the post van 'eyes"
This was the end of the day, and it was several inches of slush to wade through and deep pools of freezing rain water. The twigs and every surface had a thorough glazing
We escaped West and from the plane saw this amazing mountain as we came into land
With blue skies and water like a mirror. We had sunshine and this time we got sun screen. These hibernated bodies can't take 4 minutes in the sunshine.
Here it was full bloom ahead
and daffodils
The working boats looking spidery with their equipment
These are crab pots! Talk about industrial
But these waters and time here was a lovely spring wake up
back to see the sunset
And what the heck is that! Yup more of this stuff
The glove seemed to be pointing the way
But our flowers are immerging
as well as getting some April showers and not snow, thank goodness
another remnant of winter
We certainly love to see those flowers and these crocus were basking in the sun shine
Mini iris
fluffy trees
and lovely days in the forest
This tree stump making a perfect spot for this lush moss to grow. It is sooo green.
The 'wedding' magnolia. It is actually a Star Magnolia
well trimmed forsythia
My favorite picture of all, daffs in the pine needles
an early evening walk and the recently flowering Maple is glowing in the street light
This is a favorite tree of mine in the neighborhood. With it's pom pom ends of it's branches
suddenly there are blooms everywhere
All the faces of the daffs
even the hellebore is head up
The magnolias this year have been spectacular
Different types and thankfully not battered by rain or s!
I call this 'weeping beauti'
Fancy tulips
And ones with a green lovely stripe
Happy Spring!!!!!!
