A few weeks ago, all the trees were barren.
And then, slowly...
Blooms began to emerge.
In waves they appeared. First there was the forsythia and daffodils...
And then there were the magnolias ...
AND THEN, there were the breathtaking cherry blossoms (at least I think that's what these are?) that just like the Fall foliage, made me nearly crash my car on my drives around town.
I honestly didn't think anything could rival the beauty of Fall, until I saw the Spring blossoms.
They literally take my breath away. Although the reason I might be having such a difficult time breathing could also have to do with the tons of pollen in the air...
Dainty dogwoods!
Vibrant!
These look like delicate little hearts...
Picturesque!
Lovely...
Divine...
Everywhere I look, the vibrant growth is more beautiful than what I just saw before...
Well, except here.
"Leaves of three, let 'em be!"
Then again, I'm not absolutely certain that's poison ivy. It would probably serve us well if we actually found out since there are sprigs of it all over the lower portion of our yard.
