The Final Proof That Spring Has Arrived

Wandering around my yard checking on plants coming up is always fun to me. I do this every spring, beginning in late February. By mid summer my yard is usually not so nice. I have clay soil with lots of rocks. So I have to enjoy it now while there is plenty of rain. Once it gets hot and stops raining very much everything drys up.

Anyway, I had fun taking these pictures:

Weeds.


Trilliums.


Violets.


Snowdrops.

Azaleas.


Forsythia.
Periwinkle.

Widowswort.

Irises.
And lastly more weeds.

But the final proof that makes spring official is this.

The pollen on my car!

  1. Ohhhh....breathtaking....

    The photos are fantastic, but I think the snowdrops one w/the sunlight is the most amazing. How I love all those deep South springtime blooms.

    Glad you had so much fun w/N!

  2. SW, these are beautiful photographs! Certainly they should accompany a Wordsworth poem.

    I am especially impressed by how wonderfully you captured the forsythia. I've had such difficulty capturing a decent shot of it this Spring.

    And, as Beth noted, the snowdrops shot is breathtaking. Hmmmm, something else to put in your Etsy shop....
