Rise and shine, English daisies!
Even the lowly skunk cabbage is all aglow and a sight for sore eyes. Wish I looked that good in the morning!
Is your spring still sound asleep, or are you starting to see signs?

Have a happy day!
How I wish we were seeing signs of spring here! Nope, still the same beastly winter! We normally get around 25" of snow and this year we've already had 56"!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing. I love the pussy willows and the skunk cabbage (never heard of skunk cabbage before). The english daisy makes me smile! Great captures Leslie! No unfortunately no sign of spring yet, just got up and there is snow on the ground again. The rain from this week took all of what we had away and now it's back! I so want spring to start. Next week looks above freezing so maybe soon. Have a happy day as well!
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess I should be reading my email notifications in chronological order rather than from newest to oldest LOL I just left a comment on your other blog, not even noticing that it wasn't your "G&G" blog! LOL I'll let you read it there. Thank you for showcasing Nature's beauties against the "darkness" of winter! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS photos my friend!!! We were seeing a few signs of spring the past couple of days with the daffodils doing their best to pop up out of the ground but then this morning they were blanketed once again with a layer of snow and fallen temperatures! I can not wait to see the blossoms on my 100 year old crab apple tree (always such a gorgeous sight) but will have to wait closer to Mother's Day for that happy sight! Thanks for brightening my day though ... very appreciated since I'm in a bit of a slump today! BIG OHIO HUGS!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Spring is starting to poke out, but my flower beds need a lot of work. I am seeing the first buds of leaves on my fig tree. I can't wait to gather that fruit again this year. I just learned last year how yummy fresh figs were. Is skunk cabbage just an ornamental plant?
ReplyDeleteUuuhhh No spring for us as the snow hasn't melted yet. But it is starting too which is good since baseball has been delayed 3 weeks already. EEK! Gotta love mother natures sense of humor. The daisy makes me just smile, that flower is always perfect ya know. Looks like you have some spring time starting to show. Full bloom will be wonderful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pics. you're good with your camera. Mine are still frozen in the ground... Have a great day
ReplyDeleteThe last of our snow in the city melted this week and we just hit mid teens to 20 deg (62-68) in Vancouver BC. Nice to see all those buds coming through. Wonderful photos :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh!! I sight for Winter sore eyes Leslie, what gorgeous pictures you're sharing today, really awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteUp here it's still Winter, it's been raining a lot and today, the Sun is finally out, no fierce winds and I actually heard the birds singing this morning. The little ground critters are busy out there too, I just hope soon I can see some color and feel the warmth of the Sun on my skin.
Thank you again for sharing these amazing pictures.

Beautiful photos. Our wild Pussy Willows were always gray in color. And, only sign of Spring might be that we see some ground here and there where we had scraped away the snow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reminders that Spring is coming soon. I just picked my 1st bouquet of a few daffodils with early blooming azaleas. Also we are now up to 10 hummingbirds:-) Hope our sunshine lasts a few more days. Thank you again for sharing your gorgeous wildflowers, Leslie. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteThe skunk cabbage is an amazing flower, for sure! And pussy willows....I found a willow tree two years ago but always need to remember to visit it early. I've never seen any others around here.
ReplyDeletewow these are pretty and love the pussy willows, not sure if I have ever seen them..xx
ReplyDeleteLove the pussy willows no sign of ours yet but out miniature daffs and little blue grape hyacinths are flowering between them a lovely contrast.The skunk cabbage looks amazing!

So nice to see such beauty and colors besides brown and more brown like here! It gives me hope seeing these beauties! So far here, the birds are flocking back, yesterday it was 100's of red winged blackbirds, and my daffodils and hyacinths are popping up out of the ground, now it just needs to warm up!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!I love the pussy willow!
ReplyDeletefabulous photos! It's brown, brown, brown here... frosted brown in the morning! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing these great pictures! Our weather has warmed up a bit but there are still patches of snow/ice to remind us of the past few weeks. The good sign is that the robins are back!! There were about 50 of them in our year yesterday and that made me feel like spring has sprung!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie such beautiful splashes of spring delights! We have green popping on our iris and tiger lilies in our yard, can't wait to plant my wildflowers seeds :)
ReplyDeleteSigh! Such beautiful photography, we’re a little behind you though my first tulips are peeking through the soil!
ReplyDeleteYour spring is better then mine ....haha! I'm jealous! But yes, I guess there are some signs up north...the weather is in the 40's..yay! And the snow is melting however it's hard to tell as there is so much this year. They have begun preparing sand bags in the red river valley...getting ready for flooding. It may get bad this year. But I am anxious for flowers and yours are beautiful!
