Photograbber of a honily bee by the cheery blossom, all buzz’n’pollenaty there.
Deep joy!

A large bush (Forsythia)of yellow flowers in a flower bed in my front garden.
#SundayPixSpring My Forsythia is looking glorious!

Some past pretty spring pics to make up for the dreariness of my first post. These are from May in Sudbury instead of March in Ottawa. :) #SundayPixSpring
The #SundayPixSpring theme drove me out to the backyard to see if I could see any signs. The big one is that most of the snow is gone, but otherwise I had to look very closely to see a few sprouts and buds. The last pic is a young apple tree that we overwintered in the garage.

A large tree in a green park, its bare branches stark against blue sky. White hazy cloud at the horizon, with sun shining from the top left of the picture.
Just the one for #SundayPixSpring - taken on my walk yesterday morning. Worth forcing myself out of the house for.
Yellow gorse starting to bloom on the right side of a tree lined path. There are hills in the distance
From today, another sign of spring - gorse starting to bloom. Love the coconut-like smell from it

Snowdrops sprouting at the base of a tree. Usually the first flower that blooms here for spring.
Some snowdrops for #SundayPixSpring.
A stone wall in the foreground. The picture is taken overlooking it. There is a field. It is the school playing field. There is a brick building with a slate roof in the distance. The field has ewes & their lambs in it. About 10 ewes overall. I’m not going to count them incase I fall asleep 😀
A ewe with twins on the school playing field. She is lying down and one of the lambs is standing on her whilst the other lamb is just standing there. In the distance there is another ewe being suckled by her lamb.
A ewe and her lamb. Mum doesn’t seem that bothered by me taking a picture over the wall. The lamb is looking curious.
#SundayPix #SundayPixSpring Ewes & their lambs on the school playing field in the village. I suppose it saves on grass cutting.
A branch filled with the dark pink blossoms of a Redbud tree swoops gracefully across the scene, backlit by rays of the sun.

Blooming Redbuds herald the arrival of #Spring here in south central Texas.

Looking downwards at the top of a bluebonnet. There's a multi-pointed star in a soft green-white, surrounded by a rosette of pale lavender and blue petals, and darker purple-blue petals pointing outwards.

Bluebonnets look so neat from above. They only appear in the #Spring here.

With Spring comes blossoming of a tree so beloved by Australians we forget it’s not native … the jacaranda! #SundayPixSpring
By end of November, encroaching summer storms reduce their magnificence to a treacherous purple sludge even my beloved Grey, Goblin, was reluctant to risk

Spring is the time for local fetes #SundayPixSpring and a local fisherman showing the young ones how to cast. If you hit the bucket, you won! (I won, my daughter didn’t. I have her my prize)

Spring bunnies
#SundayPixSpring
The planting is more spring-like than rather tired bunny (who seems for unknown reasons to be incubating eggs)
