Spring has sprung and wow has it sprung where I live in the Southern Tier of New York. In fact, it's almost too hot (dare I say that, after having had snow flurries last week?) I suspect our spring flowers will be rushing - vrooming if you will - through their bloom time. I just want to yell "stop" and freeze them in time.
Our skies have been beautiful. These picture were taken April 23.
This isn't just an evergreen tree. It's an evergreen tree with a nest in it. And if you have really keen eyes, you may even see an eagle, but don't get eyestrain trying to do it.
To rest your eyes, here is a flowering quince.
A friend drove me to a place I needed to visit yesterday, and on the way home, we passed these Bradford pears. I didn't realize that I had also caught a sky reflection on the hood of her car.
Let's close this out with one more picture, as I love violets so much.

...flowers are popping out galore here too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Blue, blue sky and who can resist violets, especially when they're looking so good in juxtaposition to a lovely yellow dandelion.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun when the camera sees something we don't. I love when that happens. Beautiful Bradford pear trees in bloom. Yes, I did see the eagle and took a rest at the bush. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe violets are the best!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful pear blossoms. Spring has indeed sprung!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteViolets represent the essence of spring for me. Love them!
ReplyDeleteI see the eagle! I think... I love the wild violets, but right now I'm pulling them out. Ours look nice with the yellow.
ReplyDeleteThose sky shots are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're getting some warm weather. I'm sure you were done with winter.
ReplyDeleteI love all the spring blooming...we have those little wild violets all over our yard.
