First Wild blossom of spring.

How wonderfully these pictures have caught the look of tentative spring—spring waiting for a single day to burst into living green.

Waterfall on river Dobra, Donje Stative, Croatia

Not too long to wait now and something to look forward to on a dark winter`s morning.

There's nothing quite like the show of lilacs in the spring. They are not only pretty, but they smell heavenly. I just love these flowers! HSS!

Snowdrops making the dappled light in the woods feel just that little bit brighter.

Out and about on my daily stroll after a short but sharp shower. Things are certainly starting to burst into bloom.

Many of the flowers that you connect with springtime are actually bulb flowers, planted back in fall.

My nectarine tree is flowering beautifully at the moment.

Thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

We visited St Raphael on the Riviera yesterday for a very long lunch with old friends of my partner. On the way and not too far from where we live we drove through a huge field crammed full of poppies. We went back there this morning so I could take a few snaps. This is one of them. The land was flat and it was difficult to capture the full majesty of the acres of red poppies. Perhaps they're better just viewed from the confines of a passing car and left at that?!

Spring is around the corner and the mating season is in full swing here in Florida with the snowy egrets in their plumage and will continue through May.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for your visit and support!

The official start of Spring is still about six weeks away in the Northern Hemisphere. So for those of us in the snow belt, here's an image from the Spring 2020 archives to provide perhaps a bit of warmth in the interim.

Happy month my friends <3
