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!
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!
It’s interesting that the March Break for our schools is sometimes referred to as the Spring Break even though officially Spring starts the day after March Break ends. I am sure these students were glad to be taking ski lessons instead of being inside a classroom when conditions were great for the slopes on this past school break. Happy first day of Spring!
今日東郷寺に行って来ました。

I went to Togoji Temple today.
Spring has come.
The weeping cherry tree was in bloom and the white-eye was dancing.
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. -
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)

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain
