The first day of spring is here and the maple trees are blooming.
Though spring is right on time, I could not resist this part of Henry Van Dyke's poem, Late Spring.
Ah, who will tell me, in these leaden days,
Why the sweet Spring delays,
And where she hides, -- the dear desire
Of every heart that longs
For bloom, and fragrance, and the ruby fire
Of maple-buds along the misty hills,
And that immortal call which fills
The waiting wood with songs?
I've been busy doing Spring chores, but here's one from a Swamp Maple in the back yard. I love the splash of color these give to the woods before everything turns green.
before winter returns next week...the forecast is not looking good !!!
"The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month."

It's always a joy to see the spring beauties arrive. This was a couple weeks ago in central Illinois.
Yes Spring is finally here with daffodils all over the place,
These were in Claremont Gardens.
I had someone ask me how I created this shot during the day to get that deep blue sky in camera, if anyone is interested drop me a line.
Spring has sprung, and the water is starting to run high with the snow begining to melt. This is a really neat little creek up in the Columbia River Gorge. I will have to go back here again.

Spring has arrived. The cherry blossoms are ready to blossom. I don’t usually shoot flowers but this was outside me front door so I couldn’t help myself.

The lovely white flowers are native to Central and Southern Europe.
They prefer to live on rich, mildly acidic soils. Mostly in valley forests where the soil is moist enough for them. But they can appear on wet floodplain meadows where the soil is rich enough.
The plant is strongly protected by law in Germany and many other lands in Europe.
Hard to miss this beautiful home on Hwy 101..with Spring green in surrounding hillside, the home stands out even better now..
