Hi y'all, well it is that time of the week again, yep, I heart macro Sunday! So I have been noticing a lot of my Mom's flowers are blooming around her yard and you guessed it I had to take some pictures before the cold gets them tonight. It is suppose to be in the 20's with a wind chill in the teens. Alright all you Northerners quit snickering, this is Alabama and that is just too darn cold!
Forsythia (which normally blooms in late March early April)
more Forsythia
Daffodil (late March early April)
Hyacinth ( late March early April also)
There was a very cold wind blowing while I was out taking these shots so I apologize that they are not all that good. I just wanted to hurry up and get back in the house where it was warm. If you would like to see more I heart macro shots head on over to Lori's blog at Studio Waterstone.
Have a great Sunday Y'all,
Therese
No waaaay! My life is covered in 2 feet of snow, and you are bathing in blooming blossoms??? So neat! Great pics Therese:)
ReplyDeletereally early - but beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteTherese, these pictures are making me yearn for spring, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI so miss forsythia. Don't think they can grow out here in Arizona. And you are right, it's too darn cold for Alabama! Beautiful pics, Therese!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe they are out already!!! We've already seen bees and ticks ...which is very odd since it's about 20 today!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and colors! My snow drops are up in my yard since Feb 1? so strange this year!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Maryland, Therese, and we're freezing here too! We've had such a warm winter so far that a lot of our early flowers are blooming too. And, for here that is really unusual. But, your pictures are beautiful. Hope everything survives the freeze down there!
ReplyDeleteWow. Hard to believe that people actually have flowers already in some parts of the world. We only have snow, snow, snow... Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteoh, that second forsythia picture is fantastic with the blue sky and light shining through them! love the daffodil too...looks like the sun, all happy and pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! I can't wait for Spring!!
ReplyDelete20º with a warm wind...good lord, that's an average english summer! Very pretty pictures though.
ReplyDeleteMy upstate New York mind cannot even fathom such thing in early February. Though I spotted daffodil sprouts last week. (about 5 weeks too early).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
Cheers,
Leah
I love that forsythia shot looking up in the sky! I think Mother Nature has confused even herself with the crazy weather!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macros as always. :) These are the first blooms we see in Massachusetts too so the pics are getting me excited for the upcoming spring season which seems like it will be coming early for us too!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful....we have iris and daffodils and mini hyacinth blooming too.
ReplyDeleteMY MACRO LINK Drop by and see if you can find something seasonal hidden in the images. Just for fun.
Those are wonderful photos. I am in love with the daffodil .. so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm not snickering by ANY MEANS. I still live south of you and YES, it's been COLD here!! Of course, the warmth has made most of these flowers bloom and now my allergies are crazy! At least they're pretty to look at.
ReplyDeleteHigh winds or not, you got some really pretty shots!
Oh what pretty pictures, Theresa! I can't believe you have those blooms already. They are the first I'm seeing so far in the blogosphere - thank you for that early glimpse of Spring!
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see so many flowers blooming outside in February!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I love Forsythia and had two bushes at our previous home, but haven't planted any here yet. We have Iris and Daffodils blooming here too. I'm not ready for Spring yet, but I worry that we'll have a cold snap and it will kill the pretty flowers.
ReplyDeletebeautiful flowers Therese. I can't wait for spring, mind you we didn't have much of a winter :)
ReplyDeletePS...note new blog address
