Spring In The Country

After a long, cold winter, topped off with a foot of snow in March, my yard has finally sprung to life. It always seems to happen overnight. It's as if I wake up one morning and realize that Spring has indeed arrived!

The warm evenings we've had over the past couple of weeks have lured me outside, camera in hand. I hope you enjoy the pictures I've taken of my little neck of the woods in springtime.


A storm brewing..


A rainbow...

An amazing sunrise...


A blazing sunset...


An eagle in flight...


A dogwood tree in the blinding sunlight...


Mountain Laurel along the driveway...


Why don't you come on over and sit a spell?

Awesome! Very pretty. Your new colors are very spiffy too - for some reason it loads (on dial up) faster than the previous one did.

Enjoy spring, because it only lasts one day, as you know. Then it's heat, humidity, and a thunderstorm every night. Oh, and bugs. Don't forget them.

Let me know when the pool is open!
