One of the best things about retirement is having time to savor nature as a season comes and goes. Instead of looking at the walls of an office, I can look at a rose : )
Have a Get Out and Have Fun Weekend, Flickr Friends !!

How wonderfully these pictures have caught the look of tentative spring—spring waiting for a single day to burst into living green.

There's nothing quite like the show of lilacs in the spring. They are not only pretty, but they smell heavenly. I just love these flowers! HSS!

Beautiful petals
And color scheme.
Among the loveliest
Ever seen.
Such is the flower
Of one’s dreams
The iris
Is a floral queen.

Such grace in this iris...originally against a white background, why did I do that?!

Out and about on my daily stroll after a short but sharp shower. Things are certainly starting to burst into bloom.
Spring is around the corner and the mating season is in full swing here in Florida with the snowy egrets in their plumage and will continue through May.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for your visit and support!
Many of the flowers that you connect with springtime are actually bulb flowers, planted back in fall.
It's the time for bluebells but I'm unlikely to get out to see them this year so here's one from the archives
Happy Weekend everyone, have a safe and peaceful one.
Thank you for your visits and kind comments dear friends. They are very much appreciated 💐💐💐😊
We visited St Raphael on the Riviera yesterday for a very long lunch with old friends of my partner. On the way and not too far from where we live we drove through a huge field crammed full of poppies. We went back there this morning so I could take a few snaps. This is one of them. The land was flat and it was difficult to capture the full majesty of the acres of red poppies. Perhaps they're better just viewed from the confines of a passing car and left at that?!
My nectarine tree is flowering beautifully at the moment.
Thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

The official start of Spring is still about six weeks away in the Northern Hemisphere. So for those of us in the snow belt, here's an image from the Spring 2020 archives to provide perhaps a bit of warmth in the interim.
