Spring Fest

Spring is well underway, with even hints of summer temperatures thrown in.

While the transformation is taking place, it always fascinates me that something so dead and lifeless really does have growth and energy inside!



What also strikes me this time of year, is the explosion of Yellow!

Witnessing the budding daffodils, and the vibrant display of the forsythia bush.


It's a welcome change from the brown unadorned trees, grey skies and dull grasses to the glowing sun and golden buds.



It is also the time of year that the gold finches dress up in their brightest plumage to show off for and get the attention of the nearest ladies.


Soon the yellows will have to share the stage with the other glorious spectrum of colors working their way onto the canvas.

Allowing the pinks and purples - white blooms and deep ruby petals to also shine in the limelight.

But I will always give thanks and appreciation to the yellows as being the pioneers of Spring!

What brilliant photos, like Spring itself. In the top photo, the flower seems suspended in air, like a butterfly.
