Blossoms




Spring came early to Virginia! Flowers exploded into blossoms... but wait! A frost is in the forecast, and wintry weather may return. Well, I've photographed some of the flowers for you and for Today's Flowers and Photo Friday. There are even some touches of orange for Orange You Glad It's Friday. 


I'm posting this at the very end of April 1st, but it is April Fools Day, so I'm including an altered image.

Smile, it's the weekend!
Also sharing with Feline Art Friday.

    What beautiful blossoms! Apparently one of those polar vortexes is in our forecast.

    Wonderful photos. I read someplace recently that the cherry blossoms were the best ever in D.C. this year...:)
