May flowers

 

My blog for the last two months has been "when will spring arrive", well it's officially here. The anticipation almost drives us nuts but when it finally does arrive- it usually does so with a vengeance. Here are some of the signs- the flowers have started blooming everywhere- the geese are having their babies- the swallows are back- I have had a tick (several) attach itself to me and I've had my first mosquito bite, yes, spring is here for sure

 

April showers have sure helped with the flowers. One of my favorite stomping grounds- Fort Defiance State Park, has a large variety of flowers right now and by the look of the green floor, there will be a lot more coming. I drove through Huston County Park, near Ruthven today and not only saw lots of baby geese but the trails have lots of violets dotting the forest floor.

 

I personally find the "spring green" of the new leaves and grass attractive. There's something about seeing the early morning rays of sunlight striking the newly sprouted leaves that refreshes my soul. It may sound silly but I also look forward to spring and summer clouds- they're bigger and fluffier than the dark flat winter clouds. Already this spring we've been greeted by some really amazing clouds- it bides well for the season. This morning on the way to work I had to stop for a few minutes as a really beautiful group of clouds clustered above a newly planted farm field and I watched as the shadows of the clouds danced over the field. Wow- that's part of this wonderful season and I hope everyone of you will take time to smell the roses this year.

Flowers are really beautiful in May and you got a good shot with those flowers. I love the second picture in your post. I wonder what the name of that flower. Thanks for sharing.

Well, I agree with you there, "April showers have sure helped with the flowers." flowers bloomed well because of it. Those flowers were so pretty. Wish I can see it in person. Anyway, I enjoyed reading this post. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up!
