Vive le printemps...

Cannon Beach, Oregon, 2022

...Their splendor is a statement, yet in a simple way. They give a casual beauty to a lovely new spring day...~ Linda Hogeland

From the archives....finally starting to feel like spring around here but still waiting on everything to bloom. Forecasting a high of 77 today, so I'm sure spring fever will set in by mid morning :-) Have a wonderful Thursday, and as always, thanks for all your visits & comments. Been a busy week for me, so I will catch up with everyone soon.

Last Thursday we went to Williamsburg to see some of the gardens; only a few tulips in the large expanses of red tulips that make the gardens behind the Governor's Palace so beautiful each spring had started to open, but we found some earlier-blooming tulips and other flowers there and in some other gardens. This white tulip was in the Taliaferro-Cole garden just south of Duke of Gloucester Street. Another tulip in the same clump had not yet opened, and the bud looked quite green -- note the light green (or greenish yellow) still visible on these petals. I'm glad this one turned out pretty well, because I had to lie on the ground (which was a bit damp) to get this shot, a maneuver that seems increasingly difficult for me. Best if viewed large in the light box.

Didn't get as far in commenting Monday night as hoped, will resume Tuesday.

Spring

I love the spring.

For every day

There's something new

That's come to stay.

Another bud

Another bird

Another blade

The sun has stirred.

“What a strange thing!

to be alive

beneath cherry blossoms.”

A loan camera and a wake up call at stupid O' clock to drive nearly 2 hours for 'a predicted epic' sunrise at the iconic Clifton Springs Jetty. The upside was, I wasn't fighting for a prime spot on the beach :)
