Spring


Itโ€™s One Word Sunday yet again, and Debbieโ€™s theme this time is โ€˜Springโ€™. Iโ€™ve used a similar version of this photo on the blog before, but to me, this is Spring. The time when colours start to come alive in the natural world.

Over the past few years, in terms of temperature, Spring and Summer seem to have reversed around these here parts, and we go from the chilly Winter days straight into what feels like sub-tropical heat. Summer and Autumn then kind of merge into one, and before we know it, Winterโ€™s here again.

Not wanting to write time away, though, there is something special about every single day โ€“ we just have to be more aware to notice it.

Visit Debbieโ€™s site on the above link for more seasonal takes on this weekโ€™s theme.

      It was a bit Autumnal here this morning, Chris, looks-wise due to the rain, but it’s brightened up now… much more Springlike! ๐ŸŒž

    Such a gorgeous photograph, Tom. Thank you! Here in Spain, the fragrant Jasmine is alerting proboscis to the fact it’s Spring…It (the perfume) catches one totally unawares even from the tiniest blooming of the flower as a corner is turned. I love it. x .

      Thanks, Joy. Yes, the signs of Spring are all around us here. I shall have to become more alert to the fragrances though… I can’t say I’ve noticed any just yet! ๐Ÿ™‚
      Happy Spring!

    Great minds on the same photography page today, Tom, although I must admit I was surprised to see a regular photo here. ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s a beauty, that’s for sure. Arizona spring is a bit different. This week we’ll top out in the 80’s and a few days may around 90, although it’s still cooling off at night. Life in the desert. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hehehe! I must admit to be slightly tempted to post a photo of an actual coiled spring, but couldn’t resist the pull of nature!
      I don’t do very hot very well, Janet, and much prefer things how they used to be where the temperatures rose gradually. Nowadays it goes from one extreme to the other!
      Love the lighting in your photos, by the way.

    Hi Tom! ๐Ÿ™‚ โค

    Yes, spring is here, but the trees are still bare apart from the evergreens.

    The estate has been subject to much clearing and replanting between showers, so I am looking forward to flowers etc. ๐Ÿ™‚ โค

    Hope you have a wonderful spring my friend! ๐Ÿ™‚ โค

    Blessed Be! ๐Ÿ™‚ โค
