Spring Is Sprung!
Ornamental Pear trees are the first to blossom in our area.
The flowers last hardly a week. In the meantime these solid white trees are glorious.This beautiful Red Tip tree/shrub looks like this now, too.
The red parts are new leaves sprouting from the tips of the branches. This plant looks deciduous, but it's an evergreen. It, too, will have sprays of tiny white flowers in about a month. Both this and the Ornamental Pear trees were new to me when we moved to Tennessee. I still marvel at them, as well as all the other shrubs and trees that either remain green throughout the winter or burst with blossoms in the spring.
And then there are the maples ...
This wonderfulness is just the beginning. The flowering crab trees will be blooming by this weekend. Then before we know it, the Dogwoods and azaleas will create a full bloom wonderland. Spring is wonderful most everywhere, but I've never experienced such an abundance of spring flowers anywhere else that I've lived.

Beautiful, and lucky you!! I saw my first daffodils yesterday, a nice shot of color in the midst of brown and gray.
Oh that is just off-the-charts gorgiferous. Bring on the spring!!!
I want to be
in Tennessee.
Lovely! We had sun and seventy degrees yesterday, so it will look like this here someday.
Oh - how lovely!! It's so nice to contemplate the coming of spring. I look forward to it so much, despite the onset of allergies the minute the trees start to do their thing.
Gorgeous blossoms and tender new leaves Nellie. Spring is my favourite time of year, and after such a cold winter it is most welcome in many parts of the world.
We are still working on the snow banks melting down but....at least I get previews of coming attractions!
what beautiful pictures!
