6/100 flowers

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.

Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos)

From 2 years ago. We had a pair that used to visit each Spring. The last time I saw or heard them was in 2021. Hopefully they will come back this year.

"i walk slowly because i've already been in a hurry." there's a kind of wisdom in open fields that cities forget to teach. that time is not the enemy.

the season doesn't ask whether you're staying or going.

it blooms either way.

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.
