A Walk

I went for a morning walk this past weekend. Here are a few photos I took on this overcast morning.  It seems the willow trees are the first to start sprouting new leaves. The sun came out in the afternoon.  I plucked a few weeds out of the garden, those are early too!




At The Pond



The Forsythias are one of the first flowering shrubs.  The pretty yellow colour doesn't last very long, sort of like  cherry blossoms.

    I love the pond picture Christine. It looks a lovely area to walk and glad that spring is on its way.

    We had forsythias alongside our house in Illinois and whenever I saw those yellow blooms in spring I knew warmer weather was here to stay... for a while. Happy spring, Christine.

    Great pictures, especially the pond! It's cool and overcast here today, too; I think spring is taking a break! Valerie

    Beautiful photo's!
    We've had frost the last few mornings and they say a wintry mix tomorrow. That early touch of spring spoiled us here in Mi.

    I've always heard that when the forsythia blooms it's time to apply crabgrass preventer to your yard, because it was warm enough for the seeds to germinate.

    I love the colors of spring. Here in Va. EVERYTHING is blooming and flowering. Great for the eyes, but not too great for the allergies! :-)
