Springtime on river Mrežnica, Belavići, Croatia

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

-- Alice Morse Earle

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 !!

Of one’s dreams

The iris

Is a floral queen.

by Walterrean Salley

(Second verse)

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

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

This photograph of an American Avocet was taken near Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The plumage on their head and neck changes with the seasons. During the breeding season, the feathers turn a rusty orange color, but in the winter, they are grayish white.

Many thanks to all those who fave or comment always very much appreciated

Springtime.

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

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

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 😊

My nectarine tree is flowering beautifully at the moment.

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

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
