Forsythia

For all my friends in the northern hemisphere that are under inches or feet of snow. My forsythia has started blooming.

Ummmm...is that supposed to make us feel better as we dig out today?? ha ha It's a breath of spring to see these yellow flowers!

[Darlene]

Love this photo. We just got the first rain, cold and wind since Winter started. I photographed the tree across the street from us yesterday and realized it has started getting ready to bloom. My cat is smarter as he is in hibernation mode. Talking about major confusion to plants, animals and humans. At least it will clear the air and maybe help allergies and all the sickness going around.

@debsphotos Well, yes. To let you know that spring is coming! Glad you like it!

[bruni]

So nice to see what we can look forward too...my lilac tree is always the first to show signs of spring..but I think the tree is all confused..we have it very cold at this moment..but then it warms up again and the plants don't know what's going on.

Beautiful capture, I can't wait for spring

[katy]

@darsphotos Thanks, Darlene! WE are in a weather mess for sure.

[katy]

@ladybug71012 Thanks, Ladybug.. I bet you are already tired of the snow

[Ladybug71012]

@grammyn We r supposed to get hit with a nice snow storm tonight...not looking forward to it

[karenann]

Well, we can dream . . in the meantime, I'll just enjoy this photo. Mmmm...I can almost smell it. :)

[J. Voorberg]

like the dark background.....highlights the yellow nicely

[Anne Hansknecht]

Seriously??? And I thought you were a nice person! LOL As for the photo...love the line and composition. Very simple, clean, and warm

[Mike O]

I love forsythia! My 1st love of it came a few yrs ago in Maine. I like the lighting & exposure very much!!

[katy]

@ladybug71012 I know you are going to hate it but I would like just a little please! ;~}

[katy]

@karenann I'm glad it helps with your dream!

[katy]

@jayberg Thanks, Jay that is a railroad tie retaining wall that my husband and son built two years ago.

[katy]

@annehans ;~{ I know it was ugly but.............thanks for the kind comments.

[katy]

@trumpetman Thank you so much Mike.

[Brenda]

Hmmm... it might be in for a few more surprises yet before spring comes for real! Nice shot! Clean and simple.

[katy]

@thesandbox5 That is what I am worried about.

[Marilyn Wigen]

Great shot, Katy! Definitely no forsythia here!

[Kathy Burzynski]

jealous katy! I'm one of those in the Northern state! Very dainty & lovely shot

[Peter de Graaff]

Gorgeous yellow. No snow here!

[Anna]

Wonderful!:):) Lovely contrast on the black, too!!)) Thank you for sharing, Katy - we won't see green for a few months))))

[katy]

@marilyn Thanks. If we get cold weather we probably will lose everything that is starting to grow here.

[katy]

@myhrhelper Thanks,Kathy. It would be nice to have just a little of your snow.

[katy]

@nyusha Thanks,Anna. It is a little unusual to see it this early here but we have had a very mild winter. I hope it doesn't turn cold again because we will lose everything that is starting to grow ..

[Lisa Hansknecht]

Ohhhhhhhh! I love forsythia. Reminds me of my Mom. But um... must you torture those of us in the cold?

[katy]

@lisahans I know it was wrong but I couldn't resist. Besides I was running out of time and needed something to shoot.

[Lisa Hansknecht]

@grammyn LOL!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Fresh and springlike. Like the detail and the yellow is perfect.

[katy]

@ruthmouch I was really surprised to see they were already blooming. I'm glad you like it , Ruth.
