Walking into our garden this morning while carrying the season’s first pile of food scraps for the compost heap, I was suddenly surrounded by lovely little signs of spring that were barely there a few days ago.
Even under a wintery, gray sky, they were too irresistible not to photograph. I broke my no-camera-for-the-week plan and captured a few of these tinies in photos.
Irresistible promises of hope:
Forsythia
An unidentified tree in the neighboring yard
Lilac
Rhubarb
Tiger Lily
Mountain Ash, looking wintery…
And indoors, our terrarium shows its own promise of spring:
Happy weekend, everyone!
Beautiful pictures, Lisa. I love spring. It feels like a miracle when you see new buds appearing from what looks so… dead. What are the reddish bulb-like plants?
Thanks, Liina! Those are rhubarb. If you have a sunny spot in your yard to put them in, I’d love to give you a plant. We have more than we can handle 🙂
hooray for spring! hooray for hope! hooray for freshness and beauty and awesome, amazing nature! and hooray for you– for capturing it ALL so beautifully!
Thanks Galit!
