Crocuses are blooming in Kentlands - Roy and Dolores Kelley Photographs

I like to take walks through Kentlands and Lakelands, in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  With my camera in hand, I watch for the changing colors of the season.  Taking a few photographs makes the walks more enjoyable.  Sometimes, great beauty may be found in the smallest things that we pass every day.

We do not have too many flowers blooming at this time of the year, but the Crocuses are beautiful and the first Daffodils are now blooming.  Spring is coming! 

What is blooming in your home neighborhood?

Roy~The color in those pictures really pop! Hard to imagine flowers when we just got 6-8" of snow.

Have an AWESOME day!

Hi Roy and Delores,

I don't have the Kentlands to go to, but we are starting to get blooms here. I will try to post more than I did last spring.

I just love the shots.

Best, Clint McKie

It still seems early to have spring springing. It could be because we never really had winter this year. Have not noticed those early signs of spring here in Lancaster yet. Be well and be bright like those flowers.

We have several inches of snow on the ground, and spring seems like a long way off. Your pictures have really brightened my evening.

Spring has sprung, the grass has riz, with Roy's photos of flowers you do not have to wonder where Roy and his camera is!

Good morning, Roy. Right now, palm trees, begonias and loads of other plants (that I have forgotten the name of) are in bloom. Life is good...

Good morning Roy, these are photos are suitable for framing! In the Pacific Northwest we are starting to see a few signs of spring with early Cherry Blossoms blooming.

That was quite the little grouping of flowers in the first shot. Your crocuses seem to be shades of blue.

Hi Roy, I love this photo study of the Crocus. I must say the first one looks like a painting. Beautiful Roy and so well done!
