Thinking of Spring

Thinking of Spring

Well we had some nice warm days last week with a couple of days hitting the 60s, which was pleasant but with the temperatures dropping below freezing again overnight and staying that way for a few days and looking like we may get some snow on Tuesday, it got me again looking forward to spring so I thought I would share some photos of new growth and color last spring/

Starting with these flower growing in one of the gardens on the green here in Milford, at the start of spring when flowers first appear after the greys of winter to me they seem so much more colorful and bright than any other time of the year.
Now after seeing some posts of others with thick snow Ice Storms and bitterly cold temperatures, I know I am lucky in that here we do not have it so bad, but it does not stop me from looking forward to Spring and warmer temperatures and color.

This second shot shows some blossoms growing on a tree in NYC, I find myself as it is gettign near the end of winter checking out the trees and looking for the buds of blossoms ot start appearing, of course its a little to early to see any signs of that yet, but I will be watching for them.

And for my last shot soem more blossoms from last Spring, this kind of white covering the trees is to me much more pleasant to see that the white of snow covered trees

For those wantiong more snow and who enjoy winter, sorry if I am wishing it away so early

It's so nice to have about 60°F I missed those cooling days.
My hometown in Malaysia is about 95°F at the moment but it feels a lot like 102°F especially yesterday.
If it was the middle east it is bearable because it is dry, but the equator areas are exceptionally humid and we feel like in a constant steam bath at all times.

Hence we welcome the air conditioning every Chinese New Year season.

Wishing you a beautiful oncoming spring and hope the temperature will not freeze the trees too much. They are waking up!

I lived in Singapore for three years and visited Malaysia many times about 30 years ago and I do remember the heat at this time of year there, Air conditioning is surely a must

Dramatic change of seasons must be something amazing to see each year, thanks for sharing @tattoodjay

Our region being sub-tropical we need to drive inland to witness some of what you see in Spring.

We have just been through Spring and I also always check for the buds. Of course we don't get snow and our summers have increased in heat by a few degrees, which make things very uncomfortable. But that's the African sun JJ. Beautiful pictures in your post as usual! Blessings!

We are supposed to have about a foot and a half of snow by the end of the week. I think it is heading your way after it hits us too. Good Luck!

Thats a lot of snow stay safe and warm, we are getting some tomorrow but only 3 to 5 Inches maybe followed by Icy rain which should make things a bit slippery
We really have had hardly any snow this season, but I may be tempting fate by saying that the Season still havs a while to go
