Flowers of Spring
Please don't ask me to identify the flowers (I can point out the daffodil... but who can't?). My botany knowledge is on par with my quantum physics knowledge... and I'm no physicist.

Yellow Clouds


Pssst... Did you hear about the Hyacinth?


Violet Burst


Fuzzy and Pink

9. The spring green and pink in the second one is a combination
that's really poignant somehow. It's only at this time of year that those colors can be spotted just as you've captured them. That's dang pretty.

3. No actual flowers here yet (not even dandelions)
but I'm hoping in a week or so. Greenery is starting to pop up. It'll get down to 25 tonight, so I'm not really optimistic yet.

seeing your photos when winter's embrace is a thing of the past where you are.

8. I love the second one
There's something about the juxtaposition of the cherry blossoms (?) below and the green of the tree above/behind that is really appealing.

They bloom in early Spring, sometimes, when snow is still on the ground.
