Well,
one thing happened while we were in Austin last week.
Spring
happened.
Everything
is busting out. Well, not everything, but a lot of things.
We
had had some rain while we were gone and it rained again today.
Thursday morning, when I went out and looked around at the yard,
Spring was apparent every where I looked. And on a trip into the
city today japanese magnolias and carolina jasmine were in full bloom
and the baby blue eyes and african lilies and red bud tree were
starting up.

wow! you're definitely a bit ahead of us here in the dallas area. i sure hope we don't get walloped in march w/ ice and snow!
ReplyDeleteThese are truly amazing photographs Ellen! So totally beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe've gotten the same rain you have. Now it is beginning to seem like too much.
Perhaps Spring is sprunging already.
Gorgeous! But I had the same thought as TexWisGirl. I'm a pessimist. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteIt seems unreal to see the flowers in bloom in only February! Though given the warm winter we've had here, I'm almost expecting to see the crocuses poking through the ground.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed some daffodils poking up here in OR. But I think you are at least a month or more ahead of us. You're pretty far south though, so maybe this is about right for you?
ReplyDeleteHoly WOW! That gerber daisy is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI think the cold weather is finally rolling in here. Our first snow!
Same here. Azaleas and red bud. The fig has buds. The camellias are going strong. The Japanese magnolias. My buck-eye is budding up. Crazy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed! I hope you get enough rain this year to keep things in check and blooming! Lovely shots, Ms. Ellen!
ReplyDeleteNice to see it is getting close, we had 8 inches of snow last night.
