The day after the big rain the sun came out for just a bit, but it didn't last long.
The Mahonia is blooming and the honey bees took advantage of the warm sun to get out and pollinate. Soon these flowers will turn to grape like berries that the birds just love.
This is a wild honeysuckle that smells as sweet as sugar!
I've shown these mushrooms before. There are three and they stuck around all winter.

Maple tree getting ready to leaf out!
Hawthorn I believe. (I think because it's got sharp prickers that HURT!)

Hawthorn I believe. (I think because it's got sharp prickers that HURT!)~Thanks to my friends who let me know it was a Quince tree. I did some research and found there is another one on the property that actually had one fruit on it last year. Alas, the bugs are really enjoying themselves on the mountain!~
Forsythia!
I missed all these blooms last year and have a few more to go.

Wow a year already...Looks like spring is in bloom down there! Can't wait for that weather to hit here! How exciting!
As always, beautiful shots of the blooms! BTW: Your newest header is awesome!
Yay! Pretty soon you'll be experiencing a symphony of new blooms every day - what an adventure! Enjoy it, Evie, enjoy it! Lovely shots...I must see your hawthorn!
Doesn't seem like a year Evie.
Lots of beautiful blooms coming along. Love the crocus.
Hi Eve,
Wow, you have lots of spring flowers. The Mahonia is one of my favourite small shrubs. I believe that the pinkish flowers are quince rather than hawthorn. Try to look that up.
It is warming up here, but only a few snowdrops are blooming.

Oh thank you Lene!!! I will look that up. I know there is supposed to be Quince here so I will be looking to find out! Yeah!
I also noticed that my Dogwood buds are getting a little fat! I can't wait for them to open!
So many blooms! So pretty :) I love those purple flowers at the top of your post, such a nice and rich colour.
Love the Hawthorn's color and yowza - that forsynthia yellow is gorgeous too!
How wonderful that you have all that color and little blooms ready to pop. Everything here is in hiding because it is so dang cold and gloomy!!
Wow, Eve - a very nice floral assortment you have! I really like the crocus too and the design on the mushroom is amazing. Thank you!
Such pretty photos! I love spring. I can't believe you have been there almost a year already!
Lovely flowers Eve,
Are these all in your yard? They make the rain worth it in the end. Honeysuckle sure does smell heavenly. My mom has one in her yard.
My Grandparents place had a hawthorn (might have been a locust). Big nasty stickers about 2 inches long...some stickers had stickers on them. I had a lady-Pastor friend who made a crown of thorns from some of it's limbs...a rather painful undertaking.
Thanks for a nice taste of spring!
wow...your spring has sprung! That pink one is a Quince bush. I have one too and it is always the first bush to bloom. I love their color!
Love the flower photos. We don't have too many flowers yet. We have a quince tree as well. It had a one fruit a couple of years ago. Odd. I am glad the rain has stopped
A lovely selection of Spring blooms Eve. I'm just beginning to see signs of some movement in the garden but I think we are 2 weeks behind what I posted last year due to the weather. FAB.
...And the magic of Spring begins! I now possess the mental image of your home and it's relationship to the landscape. Think of all the mysteries waiting to unfold just for you!
Isn't it amazing that there is such grace and beauty all around us? All we have to do is take a minute and look down and around. That is one of the cool things about photography. It helps us find those things and appreciate the treasure so readily at hand.
As you can see, your photos are inspiring!
So many beautiful things blooming in your area Eve! I love the purple color in those crocuses! They look like little gems.
Beautiful photos! I am so glad that Spring is here! Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!
Spring has sprung at last down in sweet 'bama! Lovely flowers on that Qunice, such a nice shade of peachy pink and the crocus are beautiful! Enjoy the end of your first year there and the start of spring all at the same time!
Hello Eve, this photos bring peace and cheerful to our heart...
These flowers are very small, aren´t they??
