Sweet Spring

Reading the blogs of my Northern friends, who are experiencing yet more snowfall today, I decided to share a little of the Spring colors blooming here in the lower States.
Your turn is next, keep the faith !

The Redbuds in bloom

The Cherry trees are in full bloom

The Bradford Pear trees, always one of the first to bloom, and the last to lose it's leaves each Fall.

"For winter's rains and ruins are over,

And all the season of snows and sins;

The days dividing lover and lover,

The light that loses, the night that wins;

And time remembered is grief forgotten,

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,

And in green underwood and cover

Blossom by blossom the spring begins."

~ Algernon Charles Swinburne, Atalanta in Calydon
