I love Spring in New England.. no surprise.  Who doesn’t?  Many of the blossoms are fleeting (Ephemerals) and perhaps that makes them so special.

A visitor

It has been rainy and cold for a couple of days,  however the warmer temps forecast will bring out a whole slew of lovelies.  Stay tuned..

The great unfurling has begun.  There are little buds and leaves opening everywhere.  I love all the changing shapes… often these little ephemerals will have a full bud in the morning and a lovely delicate blossom in the afternoon.
