Spring Path
Blooms along a park path

Somewhere among the warm temperatures and bright sunshine of last week and the down pouring rain of this past weekend, SPRING appears to have arrived!

Spring Blooms
Giving flight to ideas of an early spring

Even while walking among it at lunch, taking these photos, I’m not sure I totally believe it yet.

Snows have been known to occur here until at least the end of March or later.

Still, what a treat to witness this — and there were many other blooms as well.

What a stunning view, I love those pastel pink and rosy tones of the blossoms. When spring arrives a whole new world opens up and it always impels me to go for long walks, breath in the spring air and take tons of pictures. You image is beautifully composed, the bench balances out the huge dark trees to the right. I hope you’ll find plenty of time to enjoy that wonderful park!

I’m with Mark – all we have to show for this past weekend in western NY is about 7 inches of new snow. Spring around here is like spotting unicorns in your backyard. Very much a rare event.

My kind of image, Earl. A bench with a path disappearing into the frame. Makes me want to go for a walk (as soon as the snow clears, that is).

I’m with Mark and Paul, Earl. I would love to go outside wearing shoes instead of boots. Nice photos, I’m jealous.

I have my sandals on this morning, even though it’s only 27 degrees here, but the sunshine has this Spring time feeling so I’m gonna wear them. It was scenes like your image that I enjoyed so much in Ohio.

A beautiful view, Earl. When I left for Texas a couple of weeks ago, there was nothing on the trees. When I returned, a week later … BAM! Spring had arrived. I’m enjoying marveling at all of the blossoms on the trees as well as the fine weather we are having. It is indeed a glorious time of year.
