Pearls & Prose 
Wow, such amazing photos. Where did you find all of these? I love this about spring too – and the nature you capture so well.
Would love your comments on some of our takes:

Thank you, and welcome. I’m lucky enough to have all of these within a mile of our house.
Such beautiful photos! Looks like spring for sure.
Thanks, Jeanne. Coming soon to Minnesota, I’m sure!
Yes, that is what spring is all about. We have one of the nicest this year. Your photos are gorgeous. Those bluebells with the rain drops… April showers. It’s what we have right now, very gentle rain, just for a few minutes, makes everything twice as green.
Yes, we’re having rainy days now, but gentle rain like yours. I can’t believe how green everything’s gotten in just a week. The browns and grays were really getting old.
Beautiful! Those bluebells are perfect.
I saw tulips in the yard this morning. Maybe the winter has finally given up on itself.
I hope so. Cool here today, but nothing like winter.
Beautiful shots. What a lovley variety of flowers. Are these all taken in your yard? It must be an explosion of color outside your window.
No, just the magnolia blossoms, but the others are in the neighborhood. 🙂
I have never seen Grape Hyacinth before … gorgeous! Signs of spring up here finally. Mom’s peony shoots have poked through the ground. Yeahhhhhh
I do love them. We couldn’t grow bulbs in California unless we were willing to store them in the fridge all winter long. One of my peonies is coming up too.
