Escaping winter is on everyone's mind where I live in New York State, especially on a day like yesterday with snow and blustery winds.
We had our escape (temporary) already. Because so much of the Southern United States was having early spring, we decided to take a February trip and decided to visit Greenville, South Carolina.
We found spring and I want to share some of spring with you, my readers. Here's a fringe flower, something that isn't hardy where I live.
A star magnolia, which we do have.
And many, many daffodils.
Alas, eventually, we had to go back home, and, as we drove back north, we watched spring rewind.
Forsythia, Lambsburg, Virginia (near the North Carolina border) Virginia Welcome Center.
By the time we reached the West Virginia Welcome Center in Bunker Hill, all that was left of spring was a stand of crocuses.
...a nice preview of things to come.
ReplyDeleteSpring flies south from here with the Canada geese. The geese are back. Can Spring be far behind?
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures!
Good you got fairly good weather. Temps here have fallen a bit to more seasonable levels, though the sun's out...
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the mid 50's today, but still covered in snow.
ReplyDeleteSuper photos. I remember those when I was a kid on the farm, in Illinois. It was a time to rejoice that spring had arrived.
ReplyDeleteA rewind to winter. That conveys so many interesting images. Glad you got to see a bit of spring anyway.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that nice! I'm not familiar with that kind of magnolia. Pretty.

ReplyDeleteHi Alana - Spring is a-coming (slowly) - but how lovely to have that break ... I can see the leaves coming out a little bit more as the days get a warmer. Cheers Hilary
