Spring arrived early in Seattle this year and everything began blooming way ahead of their usual schedule! Believe me, no one here is complaining!! I just strolled around our neighborhood to see what beautiful, spring like things I could find and here they are!!















And over it all -- beautiful skies, lovely, happy clouds!



I love SPRING!!

Great captures Sylvia! , as always. I love the color contrast of those beautiful flowers! I am envious of your spring. We only have summer and winter....extreme weather conditions in UAE and here in the Philippines, it's summer time.

Have a great day.

You have a lot more blossoms than we do at the moment. The daffodils here have just about made it into flower but are about 2 weeks later than usual.

Your photos of the neighbourhod flowers are lovely and it must be a joy to see it all around you.

Happy Springtime to you. A x

Your photos are so bright and cheery. I'm so happy for you that spring has arrived! Our various blooms are a little slow to come out these cool days. I'm hoping in a week or two I will have more photos to share.

I do believe that spring also sprung early down here. We were driving out on Saturday which is the first day of Spring, but all the blooms of spring are already on their way out.

Good to know that Spring is on its way. We were lulled into a false sense of spring with warm temps last week. Yesterday was a bit chilly.
I shall don a sweater and wait for it!

juliana said...

oh, isn't spring beautiful! we'll have to wait another month or so before things will look so lush...

enjoy your week!

Maria said...

Sylvia, that's unbelievable! Here in Austria there is no single green leaf on a single tree yet! The colours look so unreal! I can't believe that we will see the same things soon! Thanks for sharing!

Gee, Sylvia, you are so lucky to just be able to walk out your door for a little stroll and THIS is what you see. There is nothing like that around here... :(
Happy Spring!

Sylvia, those spring flowers are beautiful. It has been so chilly here we have waited to plant our spring flowers.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for being part of the My World team.

Oh, how lovely! We aren't that far into spring yet, so your photos are particularly welcome. Is that phlox in the first photo?

Indrani said...

How can anyone ever complain of such breathtaking beautiful sights. Terrific shots!

Sistertex said...

Wow...so beautiful. Nothing like that yet here, though the snow is finally all gone. I can't wait for my flowers to bloom. Just gorgeous!

James said...

Ah the beautiful colors of Spring. That is a place that would be a pleasure to stroll every day.

Gosh - lucky you! Such gorgeous flowers and - hey - green grass! It won't surprise you to hear that we still have ice and snow...

Wolynski said...

What a pretty neighborhood! Gorgeous flowers, lovely photos.

I think our Scandinavian friends might still be snowed in.

Spring really did burst into color in your world! The painter moves a little slower.

Nature is far more ahead where you live ! In Brussels we just have some little snowflowers but otherwise nature is still naked !
What a joy to see all these colors !
