Signs of Spring...

   I went out walking the other day with my camera. I was looking for signs that the weather was making a turn to the warmer to stay.  Not just tease us then freeze again.




   Okay the weeds are starting to green up but there is still a lot of dead looking stuff.  I guess I need a closer look....




                                Wait that looks purple. Maybe...

 
                                    Yes, the red bud tree is in bloom. 

And look what else I found...



         Carolina Jasmine...I thought I caught its light fragrance on the wind.


                           The trees are just starting to bud out.


            The wild dewberry vines are blooming. I've got to remember were these are, so I pick the berries later.


    I'm not sure what this bush is, but the bees sure like it.

I think Spring is getting dressed and about to make her royal appearance.

Soon it will be time to take a ride to see the Bluebonnets and other wildflowers in bloom along the roadways.


AHHHH! Spring and right on time...
