The delicately bulged tips of the slender bare branchlets fill the viewer with anticipation of the fullness that is to come thanks to the rains and more abundant light that April brings. The encouraging warmth of the afternoon sun can be seen on some of buds even on a brisk Spring day.

some early signs of spring in the plant life, the Early Orchid leaves are now appearing through the leaf litter
I'm back after a short weekend getaway. Spring has arrived with temperatures reaching well up into the teens, so it was very pleasant, if short, time.
There is not much colour to be seen yet, but I did find a pretty bunch of beech trees on a little driveabout. There are still patches of snow here and there, especially in the woods, and the snow below the beeches provided a nice photographic layer.
The photo is a result of layering two photos, one focussed and one blurry. I overlay the blurry one on top of the focussed one in Photoshop and used the overlay blend mode to get this effect.

This is one year old, but we had (hopefully the last) snowfall here on the coast some days ago this year too. Luckily it disappeared the same night - we're ready for more spring now!

This time of year I try to go to the National Arboretum very often. It's always a special treat. This white magnolia blossom against a sea of pink ones is typical of the beauty found all over the arboretum.
The Franciscan Monastery in Northeast Washington DC has existed for over 100 years and the beautiful gardens and famous grottos have been in place for over 80 years. Every Spring their gardens feature tulips. They will all be replaced with annuals in a couple weeks, but thousands will view and enjoy them before then.
I saw several of these pretty hellebores at the National Arboretum this week. We have snow in the forecast .... I wonder how they will fare?

Today we had a flock of nearly 50 hens and two big toms ambling through the neighborhood. The big males, these days, are intent on putting on elaborate displays for the females. For now, even in their most ornate and colorful expressions, they seem to be getting ignored. The girls just walk on by!!
...see the one in the back?

There is an explosion of color right now at the National Arboretum .... cherry trees, magnolias and camellias are all in full bloom. This delicate-looking beauty is from the Camellia Collection.

Some early spring sunshine coming through the County Bridge arches as the overnight cloud cover starts to break up. Taken on the first day of meteorological spring (1st March) 2025.
Come si può vedere tutti i particolari sono stati curati. Colonnine con capitello dividevano le finestre ad arco contornate da un motivo di mattoni rossi
It’s fascinating how fast nature reacts to changing temperatures. Just last Sunday we still had -7 °C / 19 °F, and today it’s already 11 °C / 52 °F - and suddenly the first buds are appearing.
This image shows one of the very first daffodil buds emerging in our garden, a quiet sign that spring is on its way.
