Hi Everybody!
The weather here is really warming up, it's great to be able to go out without being packed in many layers of clothing!
I have a post celebrating spring today, so take a walk with me through the lanes and fields. I am linking the The Dreaming Palette, Earth Day Tribute:
There's a heron trying to hide in the field:
And a grey and pink parrot was sitting in a tree:
This is a magical time of year for me!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

The sun is out today though it's not as green and flowery as your beautiful pictures. Still on the cool side. I'll be so glad when I can ditch the heavy jacket.
ReplyDeleteYour tribute to Earth Day was wonderful and beautiful. What a lovely challenge.
ReplyDeleteAs always, your photos are great. Loved the floral photos and the rest were for the birds (grin)!
Oh how I enjoyed my "Spring walk"! Love the blossoms and birds and landscape! Thank you !

Ja die Jahreszeit, wenn sich all das herrliche Grün entfaltet und die ersten Blumen blühen, ist wahrlich magisch. Wunderschöne Frühlingsfotos hast du wieder gemacht, die machen richtig gute Laune beim Anschauen. Deine digitale Journalseite mit den süßen Blumenmädchen ist auch ganz zauberhaft.

Oh, how beautiful the world is when everything is in bloom and growing again. A magical time of year, you're right! I love that first photograph, the 2 girls with their beautiful skirts. They fit right into the theme of spring. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making my heart smile! Love, Love, Love!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photography! Spring has indeed sprung. :D
ReplyDeleteThe nature in your photos is great. We have had 9 freezes in April (very different for us, it's usually 9 tornadoes) however, the last 7 were without heat. Disgusting! Blessings, Janet
