Trees in Bud & Daffodils!

We have been watching the trees with their green leaf buds coming out. It is awesome to see the beauty of new growth...to see new life coming about again.

One of the trees outside our window also has some bright purple-pink buds coming out. Hmm...I am pretty sure that I have some pictures of this kind of tree from last year. There are several on our property. I am going to go look...don't go away! I will be right back!



Okay! I am back. I did find two pictures! My camera...may it rest in peace...did not have a true zoom. Plus, I am not the best picture taker. I have a real difficult time holding the camera steady. So, these pics are not the best. But, here they are!


You can kind of get an idea of what the tree looks like from this picture taken in 2007.





This picture, taken in 2006, shows one of the trees in the background. It is on the top border of the picture just to the left of center. There are several of them scattered throughout our land.



They are so pretty! We also have daffodils popping up in our meadow and the meadow on the other side of our driveway. I don't have pictures of them, but I do have pictures of some other flowers around the property. I will have to go digging through the last couple of years of photos to find them.

We bought this land in April two years ago. Wow! We moved onto it at the end of September in 2006. Time sure is passing!
