Spring: Wordless Wednesday-Almost

By
Real Estate Agent with EXP Realty, LLC

It is amazing how Spring sneaks in.  One day everything is brown.  The trees are brown and leafless.  The grass is brown.  Just like the day before.  Just like the week before.  Just like the month before and the month before that.  It seems like winter is dragging on.  Then, one morning you realize that some of the trees have started blooming.

Please bring on spring... we are still waiting in NH.  I'm sneezing like it is spring, but I haven't seen much sun!

Colorful picture.  This is a great time of year to watch winter fade away and everything bloom again.

I have been noticing it too Sondra day by day with some of my favorite shrubbery. It marches on with little buds, then more leaves, then FULL BLOOM. It does prove the cyclical time honored marching forwardness of nature. It is actually a great lesson to all of us in ready or not. Beautiful blossoms in your photo.

Just like those trees, we all have seasons in our life. And those flowers we see today, were there yesterday as well. They were just hidden within. People often have their beauty hidden within. And as we give our time and warmth to them, they "blossom" as well. Love your blog! :-)

Hmmm. The only time we have brown and leafless trees is after a wildfire has roared through an area. Otherwise the pines and eucalyptuses are green all the time!

Aren't they beautiful?!  I love these trees, and it is so sad that they only last for a few weeks each year, but if you get lots of pictures of them they last a lot longer. ;) These are great shots!
