My once in a lifetime adventure

Spring in Spring

One of the cool things about living in South Texas is that Spring comes about a month earlier than it does in Oklahoma. In Oklahoma the state tree, the Redbud, doesn't begin to bloom until mid-April. Here, it is already showing its beautiful foliage. I love to see it up against the bareness of the trees that still lie dormant. Its beautiful red blooms stand out like a beacon signaling the beginning of the annual spring show of color. Its color is an unmistakable sign of warmer weather and the end of the grayness left behind from the chilliness of winter.

The azaleas are nearly at their peak and are absolutely without compare. There are as many different hues as there are yards in which they grow.

Here are a few pics of some the spring blooms in and around my yard.

Until then,
