I so love the spring.  During April I tried to get out often and take a walk or combine a walk with a drive.  

The other day I was at our local gardens.  I've been watching the flowers slowly evolve through their spring bloom.  And this image caught my eye.  To me, it seemed to capture the last week of April 2021 perfectly.

Near the end of AprilI love the colors represented here in various shades of red and pink and green.

Contrast this beautiful set of blooms with what I took at the same location on April 1, in a slightly different section of the garden.

There is beautiful color, but nothing has pushed through the soil in the garden bed in front of the birch tree.  Anticipatory, but not even a suggestion of green growth poking through.  A few weeks later and all has changed.

That is the beauty of SPRING!
