I LOVE spring!
Such a glorious time of year to be born and I am most grateful. Everybody seems to "wake up" in parts of the world where we have seasons. Bulbs planted in the fall start reaching for the sky and showing their lovely faces.
Ahhhhhh, to be ALIVE in all of its meanings!
Enjoy, embrace and be sure and thank Mother Nature for all of the gifts she bestows upon us!
When I see Foto in the title of a post of yours, I just have to look, I have always enjoyed your photography!!! I hope that you are having a fun weekend!

The sun does really wake us all up, doesn't it. I was kind of bummed to wake to clouds and showers this morning, but then again, it's what keeps it so pretty around here. It appears the sun will be out later again. As for the color right now - it's splendid. All the vibrant greens with the beautiful blossoms is really quite intoxicating. Our flowering cherry is in full bloom and it fills our front views with a mass of pink blossoms.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD Larry was pretty bummed to see the cloud cover. We caught a brief moment of dry/sunny for the morning walk with the dogs. He is now mowing in the downpour. Oops. As you mention, YES, I told him, It's April, of course we're going to have rain. And you just have to take it moment-to-moment. Then, to look on the bright side, we don't have the horrible things that happen to folks in the south.
In mentioning your cherry tree, I decided to take a quick shot outside of our guest bedroom, where we have one, too. And it's so fragrant! Gotta count our blessings. (That's my little folly to the left, where I create all of my art!)

Gayle, Hopefully, the rain passes quickly. Right now it's a bit windy, but some sun is breaking through. Yay! Poor Larry, it's no fun to mow in the rain. Thanks for sharing your cherry tree too - this is a very pretty setting for your folly studio. Yes, count my blessings every day...

Spring is definitely my favorite time of the year. Wouldn't want to mow in the rain. Don't miss yard work

Sharon Lee when I think of gardening, I definitely think of YOU. You did so much when you had your spaces while taking such great care of your mom. A lot of work. I have a 40' garden now that needs to be tilled tomorrow. Not sure if I can get that done, but we'll see!
Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Real Estate - Simply beautiful! Oregon is a place I always wanted to visit. You make it sound exactly as I'm sure it is - WONDERFUL!

My gosh, thank you, Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP !!!!!! I was experimenting with trying to slow the camera action down so as to get that soft flow look of the water that I always appreciate in others' work. It's not easy, gotta say!
Enjoy the colors of the season.
