Take a Peek Outside


Song - I Dream of Spring - KD Lang



It is only February 2
and generally my garden
still looks like winter
but after a few days of sunshine,
nature is beginning
to awaken.





The Garden in Winter today.....but look closer...








Our Tulip tree





You must get close, very close to see the small changes going on.


The Climbing Hydrangea is beginning to bud



As is the White Lilac

A Dogwood bud


























I like to put my Macro lens on my camera when I stroll around my yard. It forces me to pay close attention to the little details.


Usually the Quince is one of the first signs of Spring

 
Or the Snow Drops

And the Forsythia

 

The Grape Hyacinth surrounds my garden with little purple & blue suprises

 

An old Hellebore hiding under a fern in my shade garden


 

I love the scent of Narcissus - don't you?









The Daffodils will be out soon





















Around the corner, in the bright morning sun, 
I smell something beautiful and I see my Daphne plant is in full bloom
 


Under planted with little sweet Pansy's




The Strawberry Madrone is beginning to bloom
And a little Sea Foam rose made an appearance today





















Looking at the first photo of my Winter garden today, would you ever expect so much was going on?
