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.

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 !!

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!

Beautiful petals

And color scheme.

Among the loveliest

Ever seen.

Such is the flower

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?!

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.

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.
