These are the signs of spring!

These buds were on our Weigela bush, last spring. They opened into medium-sized flowers, and attracted bees.

Isn't God a great artist? Thanks for looking.

From my archives

Soon it will be beautiful! In spring its leaves emerge bright-yellow edged in red. In summer, they age to chartreuse-yellow and don't fade or burn from the heat. Autumn finds them bright orange and red.

Very Small Geranium Buds,

this bud is as big as a pinhead

Light on the path.

The bud is open and the seeds seek to fly in the air to begin a new life. Before they do this, my camera caught them.

Flower buds from one of our blueberry bushes, against a February sky. These buds have blossomed by now, and, God willing, there will be ripe blueberries eventually. There's a leaf bud between the two groups of flower buds.

Thanks for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
