I've never really noticed the colours of plants change so much over the course of the year, especially as winter turns to spring.
I've walked past these plants many times and they've gone from brown to green to this reddy-purple hue.
I love fresh spring rolls, and the first day of spring seemed like an appropriate day to make these. The rolls are made with spring roll wrappers, fried tofu, basil, cilantro, lettuce, carrots, and noodles. The chili-garlic dipping sauce is made with vinegar, sugar, water, salt, garlic, chili paste, and chopped nuts.
These tiny, stunted bluebell-like flowers are all over the clifftops here at the moment. I had to google to find out what they are. They are about 2 inches tall and grow abundantly in the most challenging exposed places.
Beautiful
Found these ones among the photos from a confirmand photo shoot in a garden.

Bruton Parish Church
Duke of Gloucester Street at Palace Green
Colonial Williamsburg
Williamsburg, Virginia
Home to an active Episcopal congregations, Bruton Parish Church has been in continual use for over 300 since its completion in 1715. The east end of the church (not visible in this photo) was expanded in 1752, the brick wall around the churchyard was built in 1754, and the tower and steeple were added at the west end in 1769.
Dr. W. A. R. Goodwin, rector of Bruton Parish, had 19th-century changes to the church's interior removed in the 1903-07 period, restoring the interior's 18th-century appearance, and in the 1920s Dr. Goodwin was instrumental in getting John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to undertake the restoration of the colonial city of Williamsburg. The church was refurbished in 1940; the walls and windows continue to be those original to the church in the 18th century. Although in Williamsburg Historic District, which is both a National Historic Landmark (1960) and on the National Register of Historic Places (1966), Bruton Parish Church -- cited as the first church in the British colonies in America to reflect English Renaissance style -- was separately named a National Historic Landmark in April 1970 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 1970 (70000861). Two other Colonial Williamsburg buildings are similarly separately listed: George Wythe house and Peyton Randolph house; all three are among the 88 original buildings remaining in the 1920s when restoration of Williamsburg began.

Every spring when I walk in the back yard I can see this faint blue color among the grasses. It's not very distinct but more like a hint of light blue that would be easy to miss because of their tiny size. For this macro shot, I bent down and put my finger behind the flower to give you an idea of the tiny size.

I'm not sure if I like this one or not so I thought I'd see what everybody else thinks, I just like clouds :)
This sprang to mind when I saw the list for the flickr July Scavenger Hunt, my first entry, number 2 - Blue Sky Thinking.
This was a last minute dash last weekend as it looked like sunset was going to be a colourful one. It didn't turn out as nice as I hoped but there were still some colours hanging about. With the spring in full swing, rapeseeds have flowered rather quickly and the local fields are filled with bright yellows!
The grass was still wet when the sun emerged so the drops sparkled in the light, just had to get low enough. to catch them.. Sorry, I'm going through a bit of a blue phase at the moment!

Spring seems to be here! Our Nanking cherry bushes have suddenly burst into life. The other fruit trees look they'll flower soon. Fingers crossed we don't get a hard freeze....you can never tell in NM...ahh such is desert life :)
Greer Spring is the second largest spring in the Ozarks that flows in to the Eleven Point National Scenic River, and actually doubles the size of the river. Greer Spring averages 200 million gallons of water per day. The spring emerges from two different locations that are a few hundred feet from each other. The upper outlet of Greer Spring exits from a small cave called Greer Spring Cave. The larger lower outlet is a huge spring boil in the middle of the spring branch. From this point the water flows approximately 1.25 miles towards the Eleven Point River at a gradient of 62 feet. Walking the trail to where the spring is around a mile hike. It was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1980.
Happy New Year !!
