Most of Spring is finally Sprung.... leaves are starting to appear on the bare trees and the April showers have boosted the brownish dead-looking winter grass to be a vivid green, and of course now dotted with pretty golden dandelions.
The little garden in front of the train station is blooming with tulips, glowing in the sunshine.
The daffodils that were planted around the pond two years ago have started to multiply. The weather has been perfect for them... cool and rather damp, so the blooms last a long time. They wilt when it's hot weather in early spring... and so do I.
As soon as they heard the click of the camera, all three sploshed back into the water, double quick. Obviously camera shy.
Update: The rain raised the water level and I couldn't see the rock.... of course it's still there. Who would want to nick a rock? Sometimes I can be so dense.
The blooms are glorious. I love the turtles. Neither of my island homes has them.
ReplyDeleteThere are some baby turtles swimming about too.
DeleteWonderful blooms. I am posting some of Tanya's on Facebook today and will do a proper blog post next week sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'll remember to take a look, Tanya's garden is so colourful, lovely to be surrounded with flowers.
DeleteOooh. I do love spring (while revelling in our autumn). I haven't seen a turtle in a very long time (and am also camera shy).
ReplyDeleteOne of my neighbours brings turtles to the pond if she finds one on the side of a road somewhere. Better to give them a home than to have them run over.
DeleteThose are some rather spectacular tulips. I've still got a few daffs flowering in a shady corner.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite tulips are the yellow with the red stripes. but they are all beautiful and raise the spirits after a cold winter.
DeleteThe tulips are stunning, very pretty and colourful. Love seeing the turtles.
ReplyDeleteYes I liked the colour combos of the tulips, so bright and sunny.
DeleteThat is quite a display in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteQuite a bright mixture of red and yellow, gorgeous.
DeleteLove your gorgeous spring time flowers..really happy feelings..
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the rock is still there (:0)
To answer your question..No the sign was on someones house we drove by..It should be on ours though..haha
Doing pretty good, family came by today and brought lunch. Good conversation, good food and no cooking for me..win..win..

That's good news, Sue, and it will do Dave good to see the family. I didn't really think he was an Old Buzzard.... but if the shoe fits...... hahah
DeleteLove those tulips, what a glorious show of colour.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the Turtle Rock is still there :)
The turtles are glad too!
DeleteI must admit to wondering who could have taken a rock of that size so chuckled at your update. Remarkable photo of those 3 turtles as though they posed.
ReplyDeleteYep, I can be pretty dopey at times. They were posing nicely and I had to sneak up on them very carefully, they must have very good hearing.
DeleteWow - fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe tulips or the turtles? Both, I think!
DeleteAll those flowers are beautiful, I'm glad the rock was still there for the turtles.
ReplyDeleteThey get to enjoy the rock o the next sunny day. Actually we need more rocks so there's room for the babies as they grow bigger.
DeleteThe good part of a long cold spring is the long flowering time. Ours has been lovely this year. And our turtles, mostly snappers have started emerging to sunbathe.
ReplyDeleteThe snappers are much bigger, I think these are map turtles, not really sure.
DeleteSplash of colors makes us cheerful. The scene of turtles’ basking in the sun is peaceful. All these make up for the harsh winter. Have happy spring ahead.

The flowers and the turtles are a sure sign of spring, but what I would really like to see is the Covid infections drop, the hospitals empty, and the restrictions eased.... then we could really enjoy spring!
DeleteOh you made me laugh Shammi, glad turtle rock was still there ☺️ Spring is such a pretty time of the year, gorgeous spring flower shots 🌼
ReplyDeleteYep, sometimes I'm not too bright. I forgot it had rained the whole day before! Yes, love spring, so colourful.
DeleteWhat a beautiful flower bed!!
ReplyDeleteI love to see flowers are beautifully honest, coming out on the earth.
Thank you!
Thank you for your comment, Tomoko, you also have some beautiful flowers on your blog, especially the wisteria, gorgeous. Such a vibrant colour.
DeleteThank you! Shammic.
DeleteHave a good day.
