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!
