Aaaaah March, the days are getting longer, the sun is out a little bit more and Nature Fridays are filled with blossoms and flowers!!! That's right, Mama's favorite activity so far this March(besides sneezing) is taking pictures of all the blossoms she's been finding!!
From the interesting plain blossoms...
To the colorful, "in your face" blossoms!
These are some of my favorites...
They are our very own Rhody blossoms! For some reason this Rhody bush likes to blossom 2 or 3 times a year! But it's not just local blossoms Mama has been taking pictures of, she found some really pretty blossoms in gardens next to our State Capitol Building in Sacramento too!
First she founds these white beauties....
They were lined up along the whole street!
Nature can be sooooo pretty, even along a city street!!
There is something about a blooming pink magnolia tree that lets us know Spring has finally arrived!!!
All the soft pink petals opening at once..
...they look especially colorful against the gray sky!
Even close up they look soft and beautiful!!
Thank you for joining us for a blossoming Nature Friday! Make sure and join Sunny next Friday for a look at some of the flowers blooming here in California!!
wow your plants are super fast... we have just little buds and we have to wait for a while to enjoy the best spring colors...
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, all those bloom, but Gail and I both agree, the pink magnolia is the tops!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile in NE Scotland we are still waiting for spring...
Toodle pip!

Your blossoms are just beautiful, Rosy! Mom can't wait till the trees and flowers bloom here.
ReplyDeleteNo blossoms here and we hope it cools down so there aren't any for a few more weeks. It is beautiful where you are, love all the pink!
ReplyDeleteRosey Blossom is the cutest here. those millons of blossons on the streets are gorgeous.. there is nothing prettier than spring blossons. if i pick one flower today that i like best, it is the close up of your rhody.. love the color and the photo...

It's so nice to see so many pretty blooms!
ReplyDeleteThanks for brightening our day with all those pretty flowers, Rosy. It will be quite a few weeks from now before we can show you any blooms of our own.
ReplyDeleteOur are now turning all green with leaves, but it was sure enjoyable seeing all the blossoms. It makes my heart happy. Enjoy every minute.

Love your straw hat Rosy, mew look epic as always and thanks for sharing all the blossom pics, did mew know it was National Peach Blossom Day on Wednesday? Neither did we until we read Peaches and Paprika's book, Celebrating All Year Long! MOL Hope mew're having a epic Friyay and see mew next week, thanks for hosting! XX
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I like those bright pink flowers or the blooming magnolias better. Nothing says "South" like magnolias!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are some amazing and beautiful flowers! No flowers here in WNY yet. But we were able to find a few buds coming up from the cold ground.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos
ReplyDeleteSo much pretty pink! And you match!!
ReplyDeleteGosh! Lovely flowers! And you have magnolias! Mom says the worst thing about living in the mountains is there are no Magnolias! Thanks so much for sharing them with us! Have a marvellously happy day!
