  3. What magnificent pictures--the delicacy of the blossoms and twigs contrasted with the rough bark of the tree and all displayed against the blue sky! There is nothing like spring.

  6. I love seeing the blossoms come out, and these are gorgeous. Are they near the farmhouse? It's our first spring at our new house, so we're starting to discover what's planted around the property. It's a fun process.

  9. So pretty Joan. I'm getting a new camera next week and can't wait to get out and break it in with pictures of nature. Ever since I started my blog I have only used my iPhone which takes impressive photos for a phone however I need to 'kick it up a notch'.
    Thank you for sharing the beauty that is right outside our windows.

  15. Just beautiful! I love spring! It is fall(ish) here in the Aussie sub-tropics and I am enjoying the cool weather but miss seeing the leaves turn.

    Sadly I have been known to buy branches of spring blossoms from the florist - just so I can recreate the seasons!

    Happy Spring!

  27. Joan, Dan, and Ella: Love spring! A new beginning. Yesterday, the lawn people were here and had to take a break while we had a hail storm. Next, irrigation guys came, turned the well and sprinklers on and today we had frost! Cindy

    Those blossoms are amazing. Do you have fruit trees on your property? I don't have room but love the sign of spring they bring.
