A little bit of spring has sprung

Alittle bit of spring has sprung. in Pinetown Ca. 96137

 

 

Mellow Yellow Mondays and real flowers, Wow!

 

This is going to sound a bit crazy, but I have been called worse! I have been waiting for the week where I could post a post on Mellow Yellow Mondays that were flowers, that were on that date. You see, where I live there have been no flowers yet showing their beauty. It has still been to cold and crappy. Day before yesterday I spotted these little flowers starting out. I had decided right then, that I was going to come back to this place today and see if all was still well and I could not only post some Yellow for Mellow Yellow Monday but that they would be flowers. I was lucky. Today the sun is shining bright yet the temperature here in the northern mountains of Ca. has not been above 38 degrees today. I still walked down the street to a neighbors yard and these little guys are still holding on. The fact that they are still here today is giving me some hope that spring may very well actually start to happen here where I live. Sooo many of you have been showing beautiful flowers now for a bit on Mellow Yellow Monday.I was jealous. But today! I get too!

And it feels good! LOL!!!

 

  

  

It seems like forever since I have seen flowers in person!

Sign of spring

Sunny, clear and cold this morning, I sure was happy to see this little robin running all over my backyard. It let me take pictures of it without flying away. He (or she) probably a he, never did fly away. It just ran under our truck. So I don't know if it is so young it can not fly or what. I know I did not want my dogs to see it if it could not fly yet. That would just break my heart if something bad were to happen to it. So for my picture(s) of the day, it will be a "sign of spring" a robin red breast!

 

  

 

Cute little guy don't ya think?

First day of spring

Icould not have been happier with my "First day of spring" pictures if I had tried! They are soooo self explanatory! I just love them!

 

 

 

A New Beauty in Lassen County

Day 2 of a dusting of snow. A few minutes ago I went across the street into the woods to take my picture(s) for the day and as I was looking along the horizon and the mountains I started thinking I will ALWAYS have those pictures to fall back on all winter.
I asked myself, "Self, what is out here today that probably won't be seen the rest of the winter due to being covered with snow?" These pictures are what I answered myself with. In fact I am rather proud of my pictures today. Not in the pictures themselves but in my own thought process of the how's and why's of doing so. Gosh I love what I am learning for myself through this blog.

So here are the pictures

The ground being a good place to start. One decent snowfall and I will not see anything peeking out of it till a good spring thaw.

Out of the four I am going to post here today, I like this one best.
I see simple, ya know?

My Raspberry bush still has red leaves on it, and the contrast of red and white and green is beautiful

And it just so happens to be the major colors of this holiday season. I hope I can be lucky like this the rest of the winter, but I sort of doubt it. I will however try.
