Picture This: Spring

 

It’s Thursday, and that means I’m linking up to Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop. The prompt I chose today is:

4.) Photo Story: Take a walk through your neighborhood this week and share some pictures of what spring looks like where you live.

I take a walk in my neighborhood almost every morning, but I fudged a bit on this prompt and  took photos in my own yard.  This is how my spring day unfolded.

It began with an awesome orange sunrise.

As I was heading out for my morning walk, I noticed the primrose is blooming in the flowerbed by the driveway. I’m loving these flowers right now. The verbena has come back this year in full force, and the temperatures haven’t gotten warm  enough yet to kill the pansies.

Later in the day, Motor Man sees a pair of Canadian Geese and their little ones out in the yard. It’s the first time we’ve seen goslings this year. Every spring, it seems that the babies disappear. The parents keep a watchful eye on them, but the predators somehow manage to get to them. Maybe the youngsters will fare better this spring.

The day ends with a peaceful spring sunset.

So how is spring coming along in your neighborhood?
