Winter's Spring

Yesterday I talked to my sister, Priscilla, who lives in Minnesota. While North Carolina has been enjoying very warm, spring-like weather,  MN has snow and gray. (Although, I will admit, this morning I woke up to clouds and a little cooler weather, but for over a week, it has been very nice.) She asked me to take pictures of the flowers and spring, so I did. I hope you enjoy. This one's for Priscilla....

Hellebore

Daffodil

Ornamental Pear

Red bud

Forsythia

Bluets

Azalea

A wild flower

I don't know the name of this one.

Perry-winkle

Even the wilted ones have a unique look.

A bouquet of top to bottom: Daffodil, Hyacinth, and Hellebore.

Dad's old toy tractor with Perry-winkle growing out of it.

Fresh hickory leaves.

And, of course, the butterflies

Spring's snow: the view from my bedroom window.

Well, there it is, Priscilla. Have a good winter.
