Sights from a Ramble

38 Comments

During a recent ramble I saw that the new spring growth is almost glowing with freshness and health.

The delicate fan-shaped leaves of a ginkgo biloba tree are opening.
A late blooming magnolia sports its rich red flowers.
A larch tree with its lovely new frond-like green needles.
A flowering plum surrounded by lots of new growth all around.
Pretty periwinkles with their fresh leaves.

With a sunny day and gentle warmth, there’s so much to enjoy at this time of year. Happy Spring Sunday.

    1. How lovely, Phil! Spring has been somewhat later than usual here, but worth the wait given how beautiful everything is especially now that after three years we’re no longer in a drought, too. Enjoy those spring greens and beautiful flowers. Cheers.

    1. Hi Neil, yes, it is. There are huge commercial orchards of them but there are also many scattered throughout the city in people’s yards, too. Many other types of fruit trees are grown here, as well. Cheers.

    1. I do as well, Allan. I’ve been watching a Japanese maple that puts on the most incredible display of crimson leaves in autumn but doesn’t lose its leaves. They just sort of dry up and the bush starts to look dead. Those old leaves are now being pushed off by the new growth, though. Agreed, it’s like magic.

    1. I love the rich periwinkle blue! So pretty. And the larch trees are quite amazing. They drop their needles in the autumn and then look dead during the winter only to come back with that lovely green.

  16. The spring is such a beautiful time of the year with all the new growth and colour. We returned home at a great time just as the weather started to get warmer and the leaves are starting to appear.

    1. Yes, you definitely missed some nasty weather. For a while there Ontario was really getting a lot of rain, sleet, snow and wind. I agree Linda, spring is a beautiful time of year. Everything growing and warm weather but not too hot. Lovely.
