Color Amidst The Pines

I live in a Pine Forest area of North Carolina and beyond the lawn, most other areas are covered with Pine straw, which makes a great mulch for plants. I always love the way the flowers look against a backdrop of freshly fallen reddish Pine straw, it seems to make them stand out. I love they way these were swaying in a light wind and looking so dignified and regal. 

I rarely cut any of these and bring them in the house because I like to see them in their natural habitat. When I want some for a vase, I go buy them at  the flower shop so mine won't be depleted.

I hope you are having a day that includes some signs of Spring!

Thank you for viewing.

We might get snow here Wednesday, but the little delicate blooms are popping up and growing.

It has been a cold and windy week-end, but lots of sunshine made it beautiful anyway.

I hope you had a dreaming about spring week-end!

I am so happy to have a husband who often buys flowers for me, especially when he knows that I will love painting them. I worked on a couple of large paintings today and decided to paint this still life this afternoon.  I finished it just in time to watch Carolina play Vermont.

Sign Of Spring

Sign Of Spring

We all know it's spring when the bright yellow forsythia begins to bloom everywhere and it is just beginning to do that here.  There is a huge bush of it in my neighbor's yard, just close enough to the edge that it almost looks like it's in ours, so we get to enjoy it too. We have some others that come out a little slower because they are not getting quite enough sun.

One day they are bare branches

and the next day you see them loaded with

cheery yellow flowers.  This happens in late

February in North Carolina and it

never fails to catch me by surprise.
