Winter to Spring in Cville

What a difference a couple of weeks make:

This first photo was take about 3 weeks ago. Spring came to Charlottesville and so did the colors:

See what I mean, notice not only the tree but the green color everywhere!

Here is the rear view from the deck:

Before Spring:

After Spring:

Any questions?

When listing a home consider the time of year....This is most important when you have four seasons.

Charles, very pretty. Color is important whenever you can use it and it's great that you recognize it.

Great pictures...did you "green up" the grass a bit? I was up in the area last week, everything was blooming beautifully!

It seems that when spring arrives it ARRIVES with a bang overnight! One day our lawn was dead, the trees were leaf-less, and there were no flowers....the next day (almost overnight) we have a tree that is awesomely full of leaves, a flower bed with lots of flowers and weeds, and green grass. These are beautiful photos...thanks for sharing.

Spring jumped right into summer it was 80 here in Michigan. It almost makes the winter tolerable and spring is the best time of the year. Thanks for the Photos.

Charles, I was in Charlottesville on Saturday for the marathon. The course was beautiful. We started in the Historic district, ran through the grounds of UVA out to Ridge Road and back. Dogwoods and honeysuckle everywhere.

I live in Florida - spring is lovely. I missed it last year - I was in the bathroom.

< sigh >

All kidding aside, Charles, I have friends in Charlottesville and have visited from time to time. It is a spectacularly beautiful area.
