Eliza Waters 
Beautiful! Life springs anew. ❤️
Thanks, John, it is a happy time of year!
You are welcome. ☺️
Can’t beat that spring green!
So true, it’s like falling in love all over again! 🙂
Good point, Eliza.
Sweet!
Thanks, Cindy! 🙂
This change in the season is beautifully captured in these photographs, Eliza.
Thank you, Anne. I am thrilled as I walk our trail around the property, celebrating the rebirth. ❤
Reblogged this on Anita Dawes and Jaye Marie.
Exciting new life… so inspiring, Eliza…
Thank you, J & A, it surely is exciting. I rejoice as the earth greens up once again. Thanks for reblogging, too. 🙂
It was a long time coming…
I thought the only place you could find chokecherry bushes was in the Canadian Prairies. Makes me think of home.
Thanks, Darlene. It is a common name for a couple of plants, this one is a small native shrub (Prunus virginiana).
Does it produce a small pitted berry? We would make jam from the chokecherries.
I believe so, the birds gobble them up as soon as they ripen. 🙂
They will do that!
Pingback: Silent Sunday – Spring Unfolding | Purplerays
I looked out at a bed last week after a rain, and I swear the iris shot up 2″. I love spring!
Spring is the BEST! 🙂
Beautiful, how the beech leaf unfolds from a leaf bud. All little miracles. Nice captures.
Thank you, Alice. Joyful!
Wonderful signs of Spring, Eliza.
Thanks, Steve. Spring at last!
Yay !! 💖🙌🏼🤗
Yes! 🙂
Lovely buds. It is always fun to see them coming out at this time of the year…(Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne. I love the birth of the spring buds.
I would have thought your beech leaves were elm; they certainly resemble the Chinese elm that was in the yard of my childhood home. Now I know that one of our native orchids prefers living in the company of beech trees. It doesn’t bloom until much later in the year, but I know where there’s a spot that they might emerge.
Thanks, Linda. Beech do look a lot like elm with their heavily serrated edges. Hope your orchids provide a good showing.
Such heartwarming colours. 💚🌿
Thank you, Isha, My hands-down favorite time of year. 🙂
I love that. 🦋🌹🌹
I really like that fresh spring green. The beech leaf shot is beautiful!
Thank you, Belinda, spring is such an exciting time of year!
All pretty, but that beech leaf’s detail and your composition is amazing!!
Thank you, Donna! 🙂
I love that we both went with signs of spring. It’s so funny – I almost went with maple, too!
Lovely shots, Eliza.
Thank you, Dale. Unfolding buds hold the promise of spring!
That they do!
Spring has surly sprung one day snow and cold to everything leafing out! Hummers and catbirds are close by but no orioles yet.
Nice! I’ve yet to see my first hummer, soon I hope.
They are early so numbers are small lots more along the coastal areas.
Looks a lot like here. Beautiful! 😊
Thank you, Pepper. So happy to see the buds unfurling. 🙂
“Unfolding.” YES, yes indeed — very descriptive!
Thank you, Debbie!
Oh spring is coming
At last, the long wait is over! 🙂
We haven’t seen any visible signs of Spring here yet, but it’s coming … you can feel it in the air. 🙂
Hope it comes soon for you, such an exciting time of year. 🙂
That set of beech leaves looks like they wear a jaunty hat!
Yes! It is thrilling to see all the new leaves unfolding, spring at last!
You have such a keen eye Eliza. I’m always intrigued by your photos. The beech photo is inspired.
Thank you very much, Susie, much appreciated! 🙂
Beautiful capture of the beech leaves!🙂
Thank you, I love how they are fuzzy newborns!
Those are interesting flowers on the maple. I only recently noticed flowers on one of my Japanese maples but they’re not nearly as flashy. I love the beech tree leaves!
Thank you, Kris. The maple flowers seem extra dangly this year for some reason… maybe a lot more rain or warmth? Pretty all the same. 🙂
A perfect title to go with your beautiful photos.
Thank you, Rebecca!
I esepcially love the photo of the Beech. You have overtaken us already… our beech leaves are not that big yet and the maple is only just unfurling….
Thank you, Cathy. We had a heat spell about 10 days ago with summer temps that jumpstarted growth significantly. Yesterday we got 3.5″ of rain, so the growth is incredible!
Same here! It turned green overnight! 😃
It’s good you could identify the kind of tree each little bundle of new growth belongs to.
Easy as pie for me!
A most gorgeous unfolding indeed! Spring is such a marvellous time. So full of life and new beginnings.
Thanks, Maria. Yes, I love watching the pastel colors that wash across the woodlands… so beautiful!
Lovely leaves 🙂
Thank you, Deepa!
Hooray … here they come. I get excited when our aspens leaf out … sometime in May!
The first greening is so exciting, knowing the warm seasons lie ahead of us. 🙂
Unfolding is a great description of early spring. And great images.
Thank you, Monika!
The magic of living in temperate zones is getting to witness moments like this. 🙂
Agreed, I adore spring!
