Springtime on river Mrežnica, Belavići, Croatia

First Wild blossom of spring.

One of the best things about retirement is having time to savor nature as a season comes and goes. Instead of looking at the walls of an office, I can look at a rose : )

Have a Get Out and Have Fun Weekend, Flickr Friends !!

Springtime

Beautiful petals

And color scheme.

Among the loveliest

Ever seen.

Such is the flower

Of one’s dreams

The iris

Is a floral queen.

(Second verse)

Such grace in this iris...originally against a white background, why did I do that?!

Enjoy the week FLICKR friends, thanks for stopping by...Pat...xo

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!

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

This is an older photo I edited.

Thank you for your visits and comments, dear friends, I do appreciate them all:-) Stay safe and healthy:-)

The trees are all in full leaf, poppies are everywhere and the vines are beginning to show themselves. It truly gladdens the heart, especially after what seemed to be a long and cold winter (someone said it was the coldest winter here for ten years).

Enjoy your day my Flickr friends 😊

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

It's the time for bluebells but I'm unlikely to get out to see them this year so here's one from the archives

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?!
