Signs of Spring - Saturday Snapshots

We've had a mild winter here in the Pacific Northwest, and signs of spring have already appeared. Here's what I discovered in a walk around my home over the past few days.

We cut back our camellias after they were damaged by
an ice storm a couple of years ago, so we were
delighted that one of them bloomed beautifully this year.

I caught a slug munching on my daffodils!
Luckily, this bloom was spared.

For those of you who are still waiting for spring, it will come ... eventually!

Saturday Snapshots - Fifty Shades of Green

Even though I enjoy the glorious azaleas, rhododendrons, tulips, and other flowers and trees that bloom in springtime, there's nothing quite as dramatic as the myriad shades of green when the trees bud on the hillsides near my home. I took these pictures along the Green River in Kent, Washington. Click on photos to enlarge.
