Spring Things - Nature Paints

The up and down see-saw of spring in upstate New York continues.

Right now, it is 60 degrees. (15.5 Celsius) with a beautiful blue sky and a light breeze!  Perfect sighing weather.  By the weekend that will be a memory.

But at least we aren't in Colorado with more threats of snow.

Our white is coming from flowers - for example, violets.
Andromeda, or lily-of-the-valley bush.
For purple, hyacinth.
For yellow, forsythia.
Here's a closeup of the first forsythia flowers.

And back to white, bloodroot.

Spring at last!



Until this weekend, anyway.

  3. Weather in Chicago is just as strage. Today its like going to a wet water park out there with the torrential down pours right as school let out. I love your flowers ;)

  5. I'm jealous! I love violets, but ours haven't popped out yet, even with yesterday's warmth. My forsythia is still waiting too, but my hyacinths have bloomed!
