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?

garden, a single friend, my world." ~ Leo Buscaglia
