Spring in the city

[robert blu]

In the northern hemisphere we are in the full swing of spring. There are many beautiful photos of nature in this season.
But even those who live in an urban environment with a keen eye can find interesting motifs. Trees on a boulevard begin to cover themselves with leaves, light plays catch-up with shadows, in a garden flowers return to show themselves.
Feel free to add your own photos of “spring in the city” and if you like you can add a few words of comment.

Beautiful images Robert. Here in the Canadian Rockies....it's occasionally spring. Today it will hit 18°C....but a few days ago it snowed 20cm. I won't take my snow tires off until mid-may....

Thanks for the reminder to look and see the beauty around us. 🙂City, country. Everywhere. We just seem too often to be wrapped up in the bad things going on around us. Very nice photos!

I await patiently for more on this thread… very inspiring. I will be watching…

Speaking of which… a surprise in the rose garden as I was shooting the latest roses that were presenting, and I turned around and saw this guy eye to eye and only a few inches away.

It is definitely Spring when I see these beautiful creatures.

Somebody’s watching me… who/what else?🤷‍♂️

In our little City south of the metropolis known as Atlanta, we have many reminders of Spring for many weeks.

Cherry trees, plum trees and magnolias are in abundance. In a few weeks the Magnolias will be in abundance do those will have to be shared later.

Thanks, I’m very busy every day now that Spring has sprung! Not only yard work and the usual Spring cleaning, but Linda’s Garden has been languishing for too long. It’s doing much better now after 8 weeks of continuous garden work.

The garden has been a cascade of colors for a couple of weeks now.

I m wondering how many km did your spring visitor fly! And I wonder how many grams it weighs!

Just chilling out after a walk. A lovely time of the year to be outdoors, but nice to rest when back home.
