Photowalking in Kentlands: Early Spring Flowers

Photowalking in Kentlands:  Early Spring Flowers

Seeking the Colors of the Season

An important part of my regular exercise program is walking through Kentlands, our home community in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  The walks are usually extended to Lakelands, the adjoining neighborhood.   The exercise becomes photowalking when I have my camera in hand.

It is always interesting to seek the colors of the season to capture in photographs.  Our winter weather has extended into spring and the flowers are still limited.  These photographs provide examples of the current colors to be found.   When you are out and about, make sure you notice the beauty of very small blooms like the crocuses .

It has snowed in Kentlands this week and you have probably seen in the news that the cherry blossoms have been delayed by the colder than normal weather. 

Do you have a favorite in this group of neighborhood snapshots?

All of your pictures are extraordinary. Roy, but the wreath really stands out because someone put a lot of work into that.

Spring is certainly bursting forth in our area. It's going to be nearly 80 degrees again this week. Definitely to to start walking about with our cameras.

Just got back from Austin, TX and the flowers are also so beautiful. The roadsides are filled with wildflowers in all colors. The most precious is the Texas Bluebonnet and they are everywhere. My favorite time in TX is always the spring and looking at the Bluebonnets.

Roy I had to share your blog with my readers, The flowers just peaked up through the ground yesterday here in NH. The sunny areas are free of snow while the shady areas still hold some memory of the 100 inches we got in the last couple of months,. Thank you for brightening my day with the colors of spring

Sometimes it is a good idea to revisit some old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for new posts.
