The Vivid Colors of May Blooms

April showers really do bring May flowers. The vivid colors are popping up all around us here in Southern New England.

How many of the flowers and plants can you name in the pictures above?

Does It Look Like Winter Is Nearby?

The tree above is so beautiful against the sky I had to stop and take a photo as I drive by it daily. It appears to be quite old with so many many branches and a large trunk. The 2nd photo is of a plant that I have been seeing more of lately around the area. Do you know what they are called? The last photo is the thin frost that appeared yesterday morning reminding us that winter is oh so near.  
The 5 day forecast is beginning to show it too :)

Has it begun to feel like winter in your area?
