My mood elevating from bad to good or good to better…
And with the many trips between my work’s split shift and Big Guy’s extracurricular activities, it’s been a veritable bouquet of uplifted vibes.
The vegetation has literally been in a different growth stage with each arrival and departure.
From the first green shoots with the buds pushing up from the tight soil, to the stalks shooting upwards toward the sun…

The sun’s kiss creates the most vibrant color…

It’s been a little soggy in my neighborhood this weekend, but a few days earlier I really stopped to breathe in the beauty of the spring flowers.
Wonderful. And you captured it with your images!
Thanks for sharing the smiles, BLW! Glad you are “stopping to smell the…” roses, were they? 😀
Hugs!
