Bees bumbled through the blossoms and then hastened away at the sight of the camera; there is no doubt that spring is in full bloom. #azalea #spring #blossoms

Spring Sky
Cumulus clouds gilded orange and gold by the setting sun appeared on the western horizon in a seasonal right of passage. As the glow faded and the sky darkened, distant flashes of lightning from the towering clouds announced the return of spring’s subtropical weather. #sunset #cumulus #tropical #spring
Shadow of Light
The winter solstice has passed as has the holiday season. Each morning the sun rises just a little farther north and before long, morning scenes like this will disappear as the Sun continues it journey and winter shadows are replaced by the warm caress of spring. #shadows #light #spring #wintershadows
Springtime
I was writing “SPRING” in the pollen that had gathered on the lanai table. In the process I sneezed, sending the “G” off the table and onto the floor, never to be seen again; kind of like my hair. #spring #pollen #lanai #hair
Pollen-makers and Pollinators
The azaleas are in full bloom, producing pollen and nectar, much to the delight of the butterflies seen buzzing about the photo. While my eyes enjoy sight of the pollen-maker and pollinator, my nose, and sinuses will be much happier when there is less pollen later. #azaleas #flowers #pollen #spring #pollinators #pollenmakers
Cherries and a Kiss
Cherry blossoms sweeten the scene over the vineyards at Elk Cove Winery in Oregon, like an “angel’s kiss in spring.” (Quote from the song “Summer Wine” written by Lee Hazelwood) #cherryblossoms #angelskiss #vineyard #elkcovewinery #spring
Catkins
The marsh along the road showed signs of the season as soft, furry blossoms of the pussy willow, known as catkins, burst forth. Yay! Spring is on its way and the appearance of such blooms is really the “cat’s meow!” #pussywillow #blossoms #spring #catsmeow
Overachiever
While most of the trees in the neighborhood realize that spring is just beginning and have barely started to awaken, this one has already sprung out with a full, fresh set of leaves. It’s a pleasant sight even if I don’t know why it was in such a hurry. #tree #leafy #spring
Air Bee
The bees are getting busy in the back yard with lots of flowers to pollinate. This one posed in mid flight while it was on its way to the next blossom. It would have been neat if there had been two bee’s buzzing about in this photo. Then I could have labeled it “Air BeeContinue reading “Air Bee”
Autumn and Spring with Winter Between
There is a glow autumn gold from the maple leaves in the front yard while azaleas beam the colors of spring. In the meantime, winter will soon burst onto the scene with frost and temperatures near freezing. These two plants will weather it well, but it is time to cover the pineapples. #autumn #spring #winterContinue reading “Autumn and Spring with Winter Between”
