The Colors of Spring

Hello Everyone,
I'm sharing more photos of one of my favorite places to walk - the grounds of St. Frances Spirituality Center. This is especially for Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for her Pink Saturday link party - only this week, we're all invited to share our SPRING posts! This is one of the warmest and most beautiful springs we've had in Northwest Ohio on record...and believe me, I am enjoying it! These are from today's walk.  Enjoy!







“Spring is in the air and my heart feels like dancing. I get out in nature as much as I can. Every blade of grass, every flower, and every bird I see brings joy to my heart. I know that just around the corner new experiences are available to me. I greet each new day with optimism and joy. It is such an exciting time to be alive!” - Louise L. Hay

Have a great weekend! Until next time,
Cindy

    Hi Cindy, there is a St.Fancis Spirituality Center and Monastery where I live, and I thought it was the same place! Then I realized you are in Ohio. Beautiful photos. The weather has been glorious here, too, record temps. Loving it. xo

    Those pastels against the new grass are beautiful. If my trees survive this storm with their blossoms intact, I should go out and about to photograph them. It's amazing how one day they look like winter branches and within a day or two they are strutting their blooms. TFS!

    Yes my Ohio friends told me of the warm days. My Yoshino cherry is also in full bloom but rain knocked many blossoms off last night. I adore cherry blossom time.

    Hi Cindy,

    What beautiful pictures these are!! I'm so glad you're having a nice spring in Ohio; our neighbors are originally from Ohio, and they said it can be quite cold there.

    This looks like such a peaceful place to walk, and the trees and flowers are just gorgeous. Our cherry trees are blooming here, as well, but most of the daffodils have bloomed out. I think it got too hot for them last week; we had temps in the low 80's.

    Thanks for visiting and for your comments on my Redbuds post. Hope you have a great weekend!

    Denise

    Gorgeous! I lived in Ohio for 10 years. There's not a prettier spring anywhere. The flowering crabapple trees, forsythia, lilacs...heaven on earth. xo Nancy
