SPRING HAS SPRUNG

  Once again, Spring makes herself know. Today, I went out and scoured the neighborhood.  All told I drove less than five miles round trip total from the house.  I was lucky enough to have as a navigator  Aunt Mary. It was warm enough to take her 90 year old body out to see the sites.  Along the way, we would stop at the side of the road to ooh and ahh as we saw blooms we liked mush to the consternation to some other drivers on the streets. First few photos are just in our immediate neighborhood.

This first one is of what I think is a weeping cherry, but, fair warning, I am not positive on many of these.

This one here has some purple buds on it, and they are just starting. I know, it really does look bare, but, it is a different color.

 Another that is just in the start of its bloom. Almost looks like cotton.

This one as well looks like a weeping cherry.

The next section below is a little more out from the neighborhood, In some, you can see just the green starting rather than flowering blooms.

This last section below is nothing but Aunt Mary's yard.  Some of these I know as Daffodils, Hyacinths, and Tulips. I even got to play with macro a little bit.

For some strange reason, the blue flower caught my attention below. First two views are kind of looking almost straight down, and last of the series is straight on from the side.  This is a teeny flower.

The last two photos are of the Lilac Shrub. It is just starting to bud. These photos show the buds at about only two inches in length. I will add more photos are they mature. Sorry, I do not have smell-a-vision as yet, so you will not be able to inhale their smell.

Last little thought, if you would care to see any of the photos enlarged, just click on them and they will show much larger.  Enjoy Spring while we have it.
