The daffodils are blooming everywhere you look out here! Feels a bit more like Winter this morning, but it's definitely Spring.
That's not my evaluation, that's its name (claytonia virginica). In my native wildflower garden in Webster Groves, Missouri.
I was outside looking up above our cabin, and decided to grab a shot of the clouds scuttling by. Because of the brightness - I never paid attention to the sun until I brought it up on my monitor. The natural colors that surround it could only be done by Mother Nature.
(This photo is just as it came from my camera)
I find the following poem quite fitting for my image.
Song Of March . . .
With winter's footprints in the past,
and snows begin to melt at last.
With longer days and shorter nights,
the wayward winds of March take flight.
Four winds she holds within her grip,
then hurls them from her fingertip.
Her woolly, fleecy clouds of white,
she sets in skies of blue delight.
Her wild bouts of gusty breezes
roar through valleys, hills, and trees.
That high pitch whistling song she sings
awakens earth and flowering things.
She tears a hole in heaven's sky
so sun can shine and rain can cry.
She gently calms as spring draws near,
as blooming daffodils appear.
She welcomes April showers in,
then gathers up her dwindling winds.
Now her long journey home begins,
knowing she'll be back this way,
upon a cold, late winter's day,
when nights grow short
and days grow long.
Listen for her whistling song!

Some lovely colours from our daily lockdown walk today. These Bluebells were growing wild beside a foothpath.

I have seen so many flowers popping up here and there, literally turned towards the light. My early mornings suddenly have light and even when I return home I can enjoy some light before the sunset. Each and every year the light turns up as suddenly as the year before. I can't wait until the real Summer era takes place...My camera is ready for adventures too.
Another one of the kidneyworts and wood anemones last weekend - from my new Helios 44M-6 retro Russian lens from 1992. Will try another one with hopefully even more swirl tomorrow ツ
My album of spring flowers here.

Spring has finally arrived! Goodbye grey rainy days, hello blue sky and sunshine! People were out, in their gardens, playing in the parks and strolling at the outdoor markets. A happy day!
The blossoms on the trees are starting to appear all over town. These big pink beauties were found in New Westminster.

Japanese Maple with red azalea blooms in the background. Thanks for the look and have a great weekend.
I am back. I know what I have been saying about not taking that many shots but the actual month and a half break was not actually in the plan. I have devised my list of shots and many of them that I want feel that spring would be the right time of year.
This though, actually is not one of the places but I had previously had this circled out but it never materialised as I often come out to this area on a dull day or have to run for the bus home. Having though been standing here roughly 30 minutes it nearly did not happen again as it was rather challenging through cars, fast buses and the fact that I had not taken in ages.
So, here is the 20th bus in the original fleet of the future buses Lothian buses 458 seen here at Dobbies Garden Centre at the Edinburgh river Esk crossover point as Midlothian arrives on a service 29 to Silverknowes.

The terraces at Canary Springs are perched on the edge of a hill. These terraces, composed of calcium carbonate (travertine), are part of Mammoth Hot Spring in Yellowstone National Park. Terraces that have active water flow are covered by orange, yellows and cream colored thermophilic organisms like cynobacteria and bacteria. The water for the hot springs comes from precipitation in the surrounding mountains that runs down into the subsurface. The water is heated at depth. As the water rises it dissolves limestone in the subsurface beneath Mammoth and the surrounding mountains. The hot carbonate rich water comes to the surface and forms the travertine terraces. Geologists estimate that at any given time about 10% of the water in Mammoth Hot Springs is on the surface. The other 90% remains underground.
