This one looks lovely and lively but the ones in the background got burnt by the sea spray during the storm

First Spring violets blooming in the park :)

 

Wood violet, sweet violet, common violet or garden violet (Viola odorata) is a species of flowering plant in the viola family, native to Europe and Asia. It has been introduced into North America and Australia. It blooms from March to April. The species can be found near the edges of forests or in clearings; it is also a common "uninvited guest" in shaded lawns or elsewhere in gardens. In herbal medicine violets has been used for a variety of respiratory ailments, insomnia and skin disorders. Flowers are also edible and used as food additives for instance in salad, made into jelly, and candied for decoration. The sweet scent of this flower has popular, particularly in the late Victorian period, so this plant has been used in the production of many cosmetic fragrances and perfumes.

First day of spring hike in the woods. Calming cyclical return of old friends is therapeutic in these unusual, scary times.

Just one day between this and the previous picture

Big Hill Springs on a great winter day, compared to 2014 when there was 2 meters of snow!

Many thanks for stopping by to view.

 

Oh spring, you are so beautiful ... ☀️

...and the snow melts and the cold whithers, springs arrival so brilliant and bright, reflecting in a puddle made of snow and last years autumn fallen~

Winnebago River - Iowa

 

I have captured this area many times, but try to exhibit the seasons as they occur . . . it was a beautiful afternoon here in North Iowa!

 

There were some ladies that tried to go canoeing, but sadly discovered the water level was too low. We need more rain to bring the river up . . .

I purchased this gorgeous, variegated hydrangea blossom, one that I had never seen before. I'm hoping to plant it in my garden, if the soil ever thaws!!!

This morning on the school run...I had to stop to take this.

I spent a happy lunchtime trying to capture an early Garden Bumblebee with my new lens, but here instead is another lovely Primula, suggesting it wasn't the lens's fault I couldn't catch the Queen...

I got a disturbing message from Mother Nature today, your spring has been put on hold, please wait for the next available warm day....

 

After having only about an inch of snow all winter, we may get some more tonight, almost a month after this was taken....

If spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change!" ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
