Let's go fly a kite...

And so versatile with the PH of the soil changing the colors ... And of course paired with a great photo-bomber

Unless you like white and you have very acidic soil (sigh).

An example where I might ask is this really spring, if you weren't the op of the thread. Because, those don't bloom here before summer.

I don't know what I've done to upset you but I'm sorry.

I am now hating this theme. Post what the fuck you want. I'll start a new one on Sunday.

I'm not upset at all I don't do implying like that, if I'm upset you don't need to guess it.

It was just an example of, how indeed it goes both ways how we don't necessarily recognise all the seasons in other climates.

There is nothing going both ways about it. You're just being pedantic to prove a point now.

There's a difference between a flower blooming (which you'll notice I've not called out at all from anyone, despite things like cacti not being native British plants) and a picture of a dam.

Seeing as there is a long tradition of people pushing the boundaries of the theme historically, someone saying "I took the picture in the spring, therefore the theme is spring" as a loophole would not be uncommon.

I saw a concrete structure as the focus of the pic. In itself it doesn't suggest spring. A flower blooming has an intrinsic feel of spring.

For people on the north almost any other bloom than bulb plants and and certain fruit trees equals summer.

But rest in peace, I won't bother you anymore.

Your bleeding hearts are already blooming??

 

[UnquietDreams]

If I take a picture of all the mud will it scream out spring to anyone?

Living in the PNW? Absolutely.

I love spring like I love mornings. Waking up to the promise of something good to come.

This makes me think of the plant in Little Shop of Horrors.

The streets of my neighborhood are lined with flowering trees, and in the spring they're filled with so many bees that there's a low buzzzzzzz heard everywhere outside. You can watch/listen here

Not very artistic or captivating, but looks like a sign of spring

In Boston lilacs are done by May 31, but in Maine, not that far away, they start in June. One thinks normal is what one sees all of ones life, and for each of us it is.

Tell me what you'd see on a Rorschach test without me having to show you a Rorschach test.

That was awesome!

Also, apropos of nothing, I got stung by my first yellow jacket yesterday.
