Spring Feast
Richmond, Virginia (USA)
Based on a photo from March 11, 2023.
It wouldn't be Spring without the lush greenery that sprouts on ordinary lawns. A bountiful feast for the bees. 🐝

Confederate Violet

As much as I like the common purple Violets, I'm also fond of the Confederate ones.

An Evening in Spring
Richmond, Virginia (USA)
Based on a photo from March 15, 2024.
I don't have to walk far to meet them. They wait at the edge of a property with their boughs of small, pale pink petals in the evening sunlight. I step toward them thinking Cherry blossoms, Cherry blossoms, Cherry Blossoms... 🌸

Flaunt It
Richmond, Virginia (USA)
Based on a photo from March 15, 2024.
This Forsythia is rather spindly, but in early Spring, it catches my eye with its sprays of yellow blossoms.

The Oak trees were still bare, but they will eventually come along and join the Spring Awakening.

Tankers in Early Spring Light
South Richmond Railyard
Richmond, Virginia (USA)
Based on a photo from March 20, 2024.
The old wall to the right of the tracks is what remains of a former 19th century train tunnel on the river bluffs near the Manchester Overlook.
The wind was blustery — full of March capriciousness — but the air temperature was perfect for a walk outside. 🌬

Pink Blossoms
Richmond, Virginia (USA)
Based on a photo from March 16, 2024.
In early Spring, the Tulip Magnolias do their best to stand out. With unfiltered blue sky overhead, I decided to stand under this one to look at its lovely pink blossoms.

The art of Japanese woodblock prints continued into the 20th century. Here we have a view of the temple bell structure from under a Plum Blossom tree. The temple itself is located in the Tōkyō region and is a training center for Buddhist monks. The current temple dates to 1603 when it was rebuilt and moved to its current location, which is a national monument.

Jordans Branch is one of my favorite local streams. It's a joy to stand on a flat granite rock and take in the view.

From a Little Garden
Richmond, Virginia (USA)
Based on a photo from March 15, 2024.
Each year I'm in awe of the little gardens that spontaneously appear in ordinary lawn grass. I found this lovely patch of Henbit while out for a walk during our recently added hour of evening daylight. Blooming in the early part of Spring, this plant is also important to bees.

A Ditch in Early Spring
Richmond, Virginia (USA)
Based on a photo from March 11, 2023.
In Spring, this drainage ditch turns into verdant tapestry. This is the fun side of looking at nature -- noticing how it makes its own art.
