Spring is here! Yes, I love the longer hours of daylight, how with each day it’s growing warmer, but most, I love the gorgeous flowers blooming.
When I take a break from writing, it’s amazing to step outside and see the wash of colorful flowers; pinks, purple, red, and so many more.
Then there’s the wonderful fragrance of flowers that fills the air. At times you only catch a hint of their scent on breeze, but if you stop, smell a bloom, you enjoy the full impact of their fragrance.
I love how flowers are not only in plain sight, but half-hidden between blades of grass, sprinkled within the hedges, and woven within the vines.
Although it’s sad when spring flower’s pass, with the approach of summer, a riot of new, gorgeous blooms will appear.
What is your favorite flower?

I love your posts and getting to see your photographs. I’ve been taking lots of pictures this spring. I’ve discovered quite a few new things sprouting up around my property that have been deposited by birds. Most notable are 3 different colors of tulips in 3 separate areas and some crocus.

What a fabulous post, Diana–thank you for sharing those beautiful photos and words. My favorite spring flowers are tulips–we don’t plant them ourselves (not much of a green thumb, I’m afraid 😉 ) but I definitely love seeing them around!

~:) ^5 Spring is such an amazing time to take photos. How neat to spot flowers that have been brought in by the birds. Tulips are so rich in color, absolutely stunning. Wow, I’ve only seen one color of crocus, the purple. Lucky you to have three! Take care, and I hope the rest of your spring is fantastic!
