I'm being a space hog but had to get the cherries in (and a few others). :o
Nothing says late winter like cloudy weather and Magnolia 'Merrill'

We are slowly losing the old trees but appreciate each spring when the flowering cherries open along the driveway ('Akebono')

Ditto, this my favorite season. I love to see the "rebirth" after a drab winter. Not "all" are spring flowers as you may know.
Beautiful depth of field shots... I especially like number 7. <3

Lovely pictures! I especially loved the crabapple. We don't see those used as much around here as when I was a kid. They are so showy.

Beautiful, cheerful blooms. Have missed you all, but have had "something" that has knocked me flat. (Not Covid). My energy is zapped. Picked up a camera yesterday.... what a difference a day makes.
Oooh... I love that third picture especially!
And I sure hope you continue to perk up and feel better. Taking photos is good medicine, I'm thinking. :-)

I took these photographs two days ago at Powell Gardens, near Kansas City, Missouri.
Ready for warmer weather!

A few more from Springs gone by.
That has been one of my fears... that someday I'd see one had climbed a few steps to get to the container plants on the deck! So far... so good. I've stopped growing tulips in the garden though... too frustrating trying to keep repellent on them in our drizzly climate.
Thank you for sharing your pretty shots!

I'm enjoying people's beautiful flower posts and thought I'd toss some in ... starting in late winter when it "begins" in Western Washington. We're now heading into full-on springtime with early rhodies opening. My photos are less artistic and more documentary. :-) Some of your creative shots are amazing.
Great series..pg.17
