Spring In Philadelphia And Happy Easter

Wednesday I had the day off, and since the weather was so flawlessly springlike, I grabbed my camera and took a walk over to the art museum area known as, Fairmount. It's a very beautiful section of Philadelphia, with big old homes that have lots and lots of character.

The one thing I especially enjoy about Spring are the flowers and how their beautiful colors make me smile and feel extra happy.

And like Autumn, Spring brings with it beautiful aromas that only Mother Nature provides - the scent of flowers, fresh grass, and rich soil. The whole earth seems to awaken in sensory splendor.

So please enjoy Spring in Philadelphia...

Magnolias seem to be the heartiest of the Spring blossoms this year. I've seen them all over the city. They're so beautiful!

Daffodils

A fresh bed of tulips

A potpourri of flowers

Row homes
*notice the amazing craftsmanship around the doors and windows

Azaleas

Pansies

I know this last photograph has nothing to do with Spring or flowers, however, I spotted it on the street and just HAD to take a picture. In a way though, it does remind me of Spring because of its bright, cheery color.

I give you...a Mustang convertible...in Spring yellow...

Happy Spring, y'all!

and Happy Easter!
