Wordless Wednesday: Poppies

Photos taken 2 June 2013

Welcome Spring

Spring has fully arrived here in the Northeast. I spent some time in my yard this morning, noting the changes, new growth, unfurling of leaves and opening of buds.

Here are some images I captured:

Ferns

Sage bud

Myrtle

Bleeding Hearts

Lily of the Valley

Rhododendron bud.

Lupine buds.

When was the last time you and your kids spent time outside really noticing your surroundings? Have you looked closely at flower buds? Watched clouds roll by? Listened to birds calling?

I hope you'll make a point to spend time in nature with your kids this weekend. I'd love to hear about what you see.
