The Work of Spring

by Edie Melson @EdieMelson

Since Friday was the first day of spring, I thought I'd share a recent experience in the form of a photo.

Last weekend my husband and I had the opportunity to witness the shy blooming of an endangered wildflower, Oconee Bellsshortia galacifolia. These shy flowers only bloom for about two weeks in the early spring.

What evidence of spring have spied recently?

Don't forget to join the conversation!
Blessings,

  3. Well because I'm in Maine and we've had the worst winter ever, I have found it very difficult to notice any signs of Spring...UNTIL...I heard the birds chirping and the Seagulls lurking around. Going to look into picmonkey. Beth

  4. Daffodils blooming everywhere. Maples red with buds. Buds swelling on the Bradford pears. Forsythia buds showing color.

    Any day now ...
