Usually in Southern Ohio we get Spring-like weather fairly early. Too early, in fact, for most of the flowers and flowering trees. Once the trees and flowers start to bloom we usually get hit by a cold blast and all the blooms freeze. The flowers wilt over and lay on the ground in frozen colors to die. The branches of fruit or flowering trees turn dead and brown.
This year was perfect. The late winter cold blasts did not last long and were not cold enough to do real damage. I would like to share some of the pictures I took yesterday in a favorite local park in my area but every highway and street in thee city is just bursting with color and shouting “SPRING”!
My camera at home, I took out my phone (like everybody else!) and took these pictures of the day. I hope you enjoy a few of these.









Gorgeous!

Exactly. Things usually die off in a surprise frost. I’m still waiting for things to bloom here though. We have buds, but that’s it. So it was nice to see all these spring photos. Thanks for sharing!

Yup… we used to live in an area where it rained ALL winter long and know how dreary it can feel
Snow’s better! Just shovel it into a pile and wait ’til it melts 🙂 💜 Jackie@KWH

Thank you! Very kind of you and I am glad you enjoyed them. I keep saying the 1st of the year should be the 1st day of Spring rather than in the middle of winter! It seems like that is when everything should ‘begin’. I appreciate your visit.
