Spring is winning its battle against winter (finally!) where I live in the Southern Tier of New York State.
Trees are leafed out. It's been raining.Just a different angle from the first picture.
But the invasive plants are on the march. Here, Japanese knotweed. The park (which is located on a flood plain which does flood from time to time) didn't flood from the recent rains, but it came close.
The Morrow's honeysuckle is starting to bloom. Here's more about this (for us) common invasive.
Watching the sky brought me out to enjoy this moment of nature, and I hope you enjoyed it, too.

Japanese knotweed is a big problem and can affect house sales in UK.
ReplyDelete...Japanese knotweed is a scourge.
ReplyDeleteIt’s spring. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteYou got lots of rain, and spring is winning. The battle against invasives is worldwide I think.

Beautiful skies! I know in my area the non-native plants outnumber the natives.
ReplyDeleteThe skies refresh my solemn mood
ReplyDeleteLove the clouds - not so much the invasives.
ReplyDeleteAh, the invasives. If only they could eradicate them.
ReplyDeleteNice sky shots! There are at least two kinds of honeysuckle in my yard, which are trying to strangle my plants.
ReplyDeleteThe fence around my grandma's house used to have lots of honeysuckle on it and I loved it. The clouds are outstanding.
