River Farm near Alexandria, VA was purchased by George Washington in 1760; it's a couple miles upstream of Mount Vernon adjacent to the Potomac River. Today, the home and gardens are open to the public and also play host to the American Horticultural Society. This grouping of tulips is from one of their many beautiful flower gardens.
As the transition to Spring continues, each plant and tree has its own timing for awakening. This one is somewhere in between dreaming and waking still hanging on to remnants of last year's berries. A little color to a gray, cloudy day.
am noticing a slight uptick in the population of birds in the garden... as I am just planting some of the flowers for later in the season. They do like the yellow blossoms of the turnip (more like a jungle of yellow blossoms to fly through). The scarlet honey suckle (rescued from the ditch of a nearby highway two years ago) is near blooming.

This time of year I try to go to the National Arboretum very often. There is an explosion of color there now as the camellias, magnolias, and other flowering trees are all blooming.
I don't photograph many birds, but this setting at the Herb Garden at the National Arboretum was too inviting to pass by.
This garden buddy, at home in the raised bed housing the blueberry crop, is a garter snake. This is first snake of the year for me. I encourage this type of garden buddy!

The beech trees on Monadnock are stunted by the extreme weather conditions of the mountain. Further down in the valleys, the leaves have already opened; up on the mountain, they were just beginning to unfurl.
