It’s amazing how a few days of sunshine and warmer temperatures brought forth the beauty of Spring as flowers rival one another to bloom and display their colors. I took the following shots over two different mornings around our house.

Daffodils.

Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra Spectabilis) “Alba”.

Magnolia Soulangiana.

A few months ago, they were flowers like this one.

Southern Magnolia.

Then the flowers became fruit, which is ripening now.

And birds are beginning to eat the seeds.

Summer Magnolia

“Jane” Magnolia, although not as prolific as earlier blooming Magnolias, never suffer from frost damage, and usually have a second blooming period in mid summer. When most other flowers have come and gone, the Jane Magnolias peek out proudly from upper branches, like the one I captured this morning.

Mid Spring Flowers

azalea, dogwood, magnolia, photography, postaday

Early Spring was brutal, and even today, in mid spring, it still feels cold enough to warrant a jacket when I went outside to take pictures. Many flowers were blooming, with a wide range of colors, from the most intense to the truly delicate.

Azalea Hino Crimson.

We received two inches of rain today and most of the time it was not only wet but cloudy and humid. However, there was a brief interlude when the sun came out which allowed me to capture our flowers at their best, covered with rain drops.

Spring has finally arrived in our area. The magnolias have started to bloom and daffodils flaunt their bright yellow and gold around the yard, daring winter to come back. This morning dew covered all the flowers as shown in the following photos.

Winter keeps lingering on in the Northeast, but there are sure signs of spring. Today, even though it was rainy and cloudy I went out around the house to take stock of which spring flowers are coming up. Many are, perhaps later than in other years, but, as the following photos prove, they will be in their full glory in a matter of days.

Daffodils

All right, so no more BIF today.

The other day, while trying to capture the Red-bellied Woodpecker in flight, I noticed our magnolia tree was getting loaded with birds.

That was not the end of it. One more bird hopped on.

We have two Southern Magnolia (magnolia grandiflora) trees which are the last of the magnolias to bloom each year. Their flowers are white and enormous, as you can see from the photos I took this morning.

Star magnolia, or Magnolia Stellata, is the first magnolia to bloom, with white flowers that look strikingly disheveled. I took the following photos on a weekend trip to Canada where the trees are still bare and nothing else was blooming.

Our yellow magnolia doesn’t have any leaf, but all of its flowers are open and clearly visible through our windows and patio door. They definitely brighten these first spring days which are still quite chilly if not outright cold.

Here are some shots I took today once I came home from work.

Spring is now beginning to display flowers in their full splendor. Yesterday afternoon, I walked around our yard and took the following photographs, which give you a range of colors, from yellow and green to pink and red.

Daffodils

The wind was fairly strong, and after a while I gave up trying to use my tripod and shot the following without it.

Frozen Magnolia Winter

This winter has really been the coldest we have experienced. On some days, when I left the house to go to work, the temperature has been as low as -5 F (-24 C). I have had to replace my car battery one night, and the AAA man who came to replace it said they never ever had to replace so many batteries in one month.

Here’s a photo of a branch of our yellow magnolia tree encased in ice. I hope the flower buds will survive and bloom again this spring.

The animals of course have to find food any way they can. I saw the deer below nib at one of our neighbor’s tree. If you look closely you’ll see that it has lost one of its antlers. This is normal, and the remaining one should fall off eventually. Around this time of the year, deer shed their antlers, which will regrow in the spring.

I put out sunflower seeds and managed to take pictures of some cute birds.

Our backyard cardinals were not to be seen. Maybe they got offended by the post I wrote the other day.
