Images and Words Spring flowers and shrubs




Sue's theme is "Spring flowers and shrubs". I've been looking for them in my garden today, just to accept that there is none. The ground is frozen, the air is far from warm enough. The mountains are still covered by snow. The shot above was taken yesterday as I drove through a quite wild area. Our only and very important sign of spring, is the wonderful sunlight. So.. until Miss Spring arrives, we have to comfort ourselves with flowers bought in the shops.

  1. What a great shot of the mountain. I love the snow. I will swap places with you. I haven't seen snow like that in a couple of years now, and that was on a trip to Virginia.

    As Sue said, your snowy mountain capture is exquisite....I haven't seen that white stuff in 35 years and no mountains in 40 years......but the beauty is ingrained!!

  8. I am with you on that one, a few sparse spring flowers, but not so much as usual. The snow scene is very impressive and does have its charm, even if we have all had enough of Winter
