A Spectacular Spring

As I mentioned in my Saturday post, spring in New Jersey is just amazing.  I just came in from taking some pictures around my yard.  I hope you enjoy them!

 Dogwood  

(There is a pear tree in the background.  Our street is lined with them

and they are loaded with their white blossoms.)

 Forsythia

 Rhododendron

 Cherry blossom

Cherry blossoms

The next two weeks will be a show of color.  The dogwoods are just starting to bloom, as are a few early rhododendron, but the azaleas are not open until Mother's Day weekend.  They come in such a wide range of colors, and often appear in masses.  I will try to get some photos of them and post them for you.

I hope you enjoyed my tour of springtime in northern New Jersey!  Happy May Day!

Blessings,
Barbara
