Happy Season

Spring has sprung in our lovely city. One of my favourite times of the year, besides Happy Hour.



One of our first tulips in our front yard. Most neighbours' flowers have been up for awhile. Our tulips are developmentally challenged.

I'll be heading to the Canada Tulip Festival soon, I'm thinking. Because their tulips are amazing.


Not sure what these are. Daisies, perhaps? Any garden gnomes out there have any ideas? Anyone? Buehler?

The muted, hazy colours caught my eye as I walked Gryphon at the local dog park. Of course, he was too busy sniffing another dog's crotch at the time to notice and share in the joy with me.



Bloom bokeh.


Dogwood blossoms in my front yard. Awesomeness.

This dogwood bush used to be huge. Now it is a mere ragged bush. This is what happens when you ask Mr. Handsome to trim the bushes.



Tree seeds. When I took this picture, I didn't notice the little purple dots. I love my camera.



A flaming yellow bush at the Experimental Farm, our farm in the middle of the city.



Out of death comes new life.



These trees glowed, beckoning me. Unfortunately, I don't do water.

Can you tell I love spring?

Wonderful pictures. I too am a Spring lover - all the life springing forth. Fall is my other favorite season. Kind of a toss up. :)

I had no idea there were such things as tulip festivals! But that is a nice tulip, it has to be said.

Oh thanks for this!!! Simply gorgeous.

The daisies? I think are actually a type of mum. The yellow flowers are a forsythia bush - mine bloomed back in February - don't hate me - it's going to be 90 degrees here today with a humidity index of over 100.

Seriously.

I'm melting.......

Spring? You've got Spring. Man o man I totally blame Canada for stealing Spring!

Gorgeous. Your seasons come later than ours so those forsythias and dogwoods are already out of bloom and leafed out. Sigh. This was a nice re-visit to early spring.
Deb said…
yes! i can tell and you make me love it more, too. beautiful pictures. you've really captured the 'new life' aspect of the season.
I LOVE this time of year. I'm a warm weather gal (lack of padding I guess), but summertime is just TOO hot! By July, I have all the tan I want or need and I'm ready for the perfect, mild temps that Spring brings!
THe pictures are beautiful. I've got to get my flowers planted soon!
Have a wonderful day~

Your spring pictures are gorgeous. You have a great camera, and great camera skills.
Wow! Has it ever sprung!

It seems like our trees are getting greener every day. I'm soooo happy to see it!
