I don’t usually participate in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, but I follow a few bloggers who do and I was inspired by how Pami from Pa-BLAM! handled this week’s topic, the color white. Here in Southeastern PA snow has been covering the ground for 6+ weeks so you might think that ‘snow’ would be the first thing that comes to mind for a white photo challenge, but Pami defied old man winter and focused on spring instead. It’s so much nicer to think about crocuses, daffodils and cherry blossoms, don’t you think?
So, without further ado, here are my cheerful, non-wintery entries for this week’s Foto Challenge:
And remember, despite this cold winter weather, Spring really isn’t that far away. Here are the dates that the above photos were taken. I wonder if this year will be an early Spring like 2012 (trees in full bloom by mid-April) or a later Spring like we had in 2013 (same trees blooming in early May). I vote early Spring!! 🙂
- White Crocuses: March 23, 2012 (less than a month away!!!)
- White Crabapple Blossoms: April 15, 2012
- Pair of Daffodils: April 23, 2013
- Crabapple Tree with Tulips: May 2, 2013
- Shasta Daisy: July 3, 2013 (not Spring exactly but still a white flower…)
The Little GSP 
I love your spring inspired photos! It needs to happen soon… I’m hoping this storm that’s supposed to hit this weekend is the last one. It’s been awful!
I was looking at old photos, and the magnolia tree down the street bloomed in mid-April last year, but mid-March in 2012. That was an amazing year!!
I agree about this weekend’s storm, although at least we’ve had a little break since the last storm to give my shoveling muscles a chance to recuperate! 🙂
I think your photos are wonderful and just what we needed. 🙂 I can’t wait until the white snow is gone and that I’m looking at all the white blossoms in our orchard instead.
Oh yes, I’m looking forward to seeing photos of the white blossoms in your orchard, too! 🙂
Beautiful whites…I adore them all!! Thanks for playing!
Thanks Cee! Your challenge was the perfect excuse to add some Spring cheer to my blog this month. 🙂
