Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 4376
This was taken in the Milntown Estate near the watermill in fact its looking up to where the water leaves the mill pond to flow over the wheel. I just liked the new spring greens and the different leaves in the light.
Sorry life seems to have got rather busy lately will try and catch up!
Last of the Spring Daffodils.
This is the last row of daffodils left in one of the farmers field in Hampshire.
The acres of yellow have disappeared to leave the last few rows.
No need for an ice breaker, the mild and windy conditions this past week have opened up most of the St. Lawrence. The ice is jammed into this bay but the main channel is open. Shouldn't be long before we go for our first Spring paddle!

Thanks!
All the recent rain has lead to a explosion of colors across the landscape. Trees are blooming in reds, pinks and whites, the grass is green and vibrant and flowers are starting to pop up.
However with the good comes the bad. As I was walking through this field to photograph the sunset, I found multiple ticks and received my first of the year mosquito bites.
Apologies for my absence! We have both of our children getting married in the next few months and things are pretty busy! I couldn't resist these pretty spring bulbs though ;)
Many thanks for all the kind comments and favs - they're very much appreciated.
We get hundreds of birds coming into our yard in the spring. There is almost zero food for them as the ground is still frozen and we still have snow and ice. So we feed them to keep them going until it warms up. These are mostly redwing black birds with a few grackes in there too. All of the regular birds that stay the entire winter come by for food too.
- The hot days of Summer have been creeping in and this scene just seems fitting for the current weather conditions in Phoenix, as we move into Summer temperatures, Spring Field, AZ. -
今日東郷寺に行って来ました。
春が来てます。枝垂桜は咲いてメジロは舞っていました。
I went to Togoji Temple today.
Spring has come.
The weeping cherry tree was in bloom and the white-eye was dancing.
a walk between two seasons, the sunny shore of the river feels the Spring, the other shore is still wintering. The smoke comes from a campsite in the forest ahead.../Vårvintern i Nedre Dalälven, det är vår, men vinter dröjer sig kvar vid skuggsidan. Röken över strömmen kommer från en rastplats längre fram i skogen.../ Aguas de deshielo, un paso entre dos estaciones, la orilla soleada del río ya siente la primavera, pero la otra todavía permanece en invierno. El humo viene de un fogón en el bosque más adelante... (DSC_3332)

Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere) arranging
a window, into which people look (while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here) and
changing everything carefully
spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there) and
without breaking anything.
