Going down to the park

The joy of seeing swollen tree buds and deep blue skies again!
 I live in the city but enjoy the parks
and the biggest one is only 20 minutes away on foot.

As I walked down the hill, I could see wild flowers growing in the grass

and I smiled at the enthusiasm of this little flower peeping out of a crack in a wooden fence!

I saw these blue beauties under trees in the park.

The fountain creates such a peaceful sound and birds use it to drink from
 and sometimes take a bath in a ruffle of joyful feathers!

Just look at that glorious splashing water!

A whole bank of daffodils soak up the sun

with an attractive building at the end of the flowery alley.

The daffodil, sunshine petals that make me feel alive and happy!
Are you enjoying sunshine now too?

    Sandra, I am seriously jealous of all the gorgeous color that currently surrounds you!!! Lovely, yummy....send some my way :) My favorite shot is the bank of daffodils. The abundance and design, with the diagonal lines of the flowers leading into the space, is perfect!
    Today, you'll be able to see my spring. Hint - it leans heavily on the color white!
    Take care,
    xo A

    Spring has sprung! So glad I stopped by on this dull Monday morning to borrow a bit of the springtime loveliness in your corner of the world. As always, the joy and perceptiveness of your images puts a smile on my face. I'm especially impressed with that exhuberant splashing water, I don't imagine it was an easy shot.
