My entry for #seasonchallenge hosted by two lovely ladies @roxy-cat and @erikah.
In my neck of the woods the Spring Goddess has been slow to wave her magic wand and bring in the warmth needed for the trees and flowers to blossom.
The beech tree hangs on to its leaves all winter. The leaves change color from green to golden brown but stay on the tree until Spring’s new growth pushes them off.
The forest looks barren except for the spruce tree that retains it’s green needles all year.
Walking through the forest the signs of Ole Man Winter can be seen by this graveyard of fallen trees. The heavy snow caused already weak trees to collapse.
Nature takes back it’s own and the fallen trees will eventually decay, vanishing into the earth and helping fertilize new growths.
A bush that is starting to get some new growth as indicated by the red color at the tips of the branches.
Along the front yard the lilies have bravely raised their leaves.
Memories of flowers from last summer.
A beautiful Painted Lady Butterfly. I hope to see them again this summer.
