A Spring Stroll
~
Spring brings a succession of joyful growth bursting with color and aroma.
The menagerie of delightful colors brings a smile to my face and heart.
Cherry trees are early spring stars with a profusion of white blossoms and delicate scents.
Next tulips lead the parade with a variety of colors while redbuds burst into pink blossoms.
Currently, the irises are in peak display with a beautiful blend of grace, aroma, and eroticism.
~
What treasures touch your heart in spring?
May spring fever counter the corona blues.

Your spring ecstasy is well photographed. I think the harder our winters are the more we revel in the glory of spring. Me? I love sitting now on my porch and watching the Robin pull up the worm as the goldfinch sing right next to the pink azalea bush and the bouncing white jonquils.
