Time for a spring view. Birch and maples are budding out in rose and green. The grass is growing, too. Spring at last!
For contrast, here are winter and autumn shots:

It’s nice to live where there are four distinct seasons. Summer awaits!

All the photos are great.
I can not decide what I like more in October or April!
Thank you. It is all wonderful in its own way. 🙂
That is a lovely view – I particularly love the autumn colour, but in spring it is wonderful to watch the trees slowly turn pink as the sap rises, and then burst into all imaginable shades of green! Here the recent rain has transformed the view up into the woods within just a few days!
I’m glad you got some good rain. I love the soft shades as the tree buds swell. Spring is the opposite of fall, instead of falling down, it is building up. You can almost hear the leaves expanding!
It sure is!. Where I lived in Australia, we had ‘hot’ (and getting hotter) and ‘not-so-hot’.
I do love where I live!
Wow! Spring has arrived!! 🙂
Hallelujah! ;-D
I like the house…or barn, with the red roof.
Yes, that is a big barn that goes with the white Victorian house. I chose it as my central focus point for this series. I walk over to that hill as well where I see the view of the farm where this shot was taken. Our happy little valley!
It’s always nice to see the seasons change. Still waiting for spring – it’s coming on very slowly here😏
The wait can be excruciating, I know! Hope it arrives soon for you.
Thanks Eliza!
I like the little tree standing separately.
That is an heirloom apple that is quite tasty, even if the fruit is mishapen and untended. The deer enjoy the drops and often are seen browsing in this field at night.
I’m glad to see you’re out from under the snow!
Me too, the monochromatic landscape becomes so old! I’m glad to have green growth and flowers again.
It’s so nice to see three seasonal views of the same landscape. You just need one more for summer.
Yes, one more to go in high summer!
Congrats, but I still like Autumn best!!!!! And please don’t say the S—-r word too loud. We don’t want that to happen until August.
Oh, I forgot that not everyone gets excited about those middle months. 😉
Wonderful to have these seasonal photos taken from the exact same spot. Each season is beautiful, Eliza.
Thank you, Jet. I feel fortunate to live here.
Hi Eliza, I love these ‘time snap’ shots of yours. You must be really looking forward to spring by now!
Thanks, Rebecca. Yes, barefoot summer is coming soon. 🙂
A beautiful view and fun comparison!
Thank you, March!
It’s amazing how the colors change!
It really is. I forget just how green our summers are. Living amidst all these trees is wonderful!
Our lawn mowers came by today to mow for the first time – and it was probably well after it was necessary. It smelled wonderful!
I bet it smelled like summer! I won’t mow for another month – I have to let the violets in the lawn bloom first!
I wish we had violets – our dandelions don’t mind some mowing, though. They are coming up gangbusters out there today!
I agree about the seasons, here they often mix and confuse themselves.
The four seasons here are pretty classically distinct. It is nice to have the variety (even if the winter is a tad too long).
You’re greening up! You have such a beautiful view, in all seasons. 🙂
Yes, we are greening up, at last! 🙂 We feel blessed to live in such a beautiful area. I hope you can visit one day and see for yourself!
Maybe this summer, Eliza. I’ve got to sit down with a map and see how we’re getting where. 🙂
Beautiful any time of year. Do you burst into song when you go outside? 😉
Just about! 🙂
There is a big difference between those seasons. Do you have a favorite? My guess is no.
This week has been an explosion of spring things here in IA.
Each one has something I love, but if I had to choose, it would be spring because of the warm sunshine and being able to be outside for long periods of time. I all but sleep outside in the summer. Even then, the windows are wide open.
I guess the question was like asking which is your favorite child. 🙂
🙂
I used to live where the seasons blurred. I would miss nature’s escapades if we ever moved back. Your contrasting photos are a reminder.
Thank you, Dor. I would miss the seasons, too, if I ever lived in a different climate. Although, a shorter winter wouldn’t be so bad! 😉
Looks like all the seasons are wonderful!
They certainly are!
The autumn picture is beautiful.
Thank you, Brian. Autumn in New England is an extraordinary time of year.
There is beauty in each season!
Yes, so true. Thanks for visiting, Anca!
Such a beautiful view whatever the season.
Thank you, I must agree. 😉
Woohoo. Welcome spring!! Although we have a cold wind blowing today and good fire in the stove. She’s a flirt, this spring. Don’t you love seeing the red haze of maple buds across the hillside? Time to start planting.
Yes, definitely a flirt. A bit cool today, but I welcome the rain. I do love the hazy hues as the trees bud out. I really love spring!
Growing up in southwest Florida, I especially appreciate now living in a place where the seasons change! Your view is very nice. Love the different pictures together for comparison. You will have to stop over to Spy Garden to see our big Easter surprise!!! Wooo for spring!
Thanks much, I do love it here.
Glad you gave me a heads up about your post- I am way behind in my Reader and probably won’t ever catch up. Your holiday was much more exciting than mine (not hard to do). I’m just thrilled it is spring at last!
Nice post … happy spring. Things are looking greener here too … although we woke up to a light coating of snow this morning! It is all melted now and we could use the moisture.
Thank you, Denise. We always heard that spring snow is the poor man’s fertilizer. 🙂 I’d be happy for the moisture, too.
Happy Spring!
