March Pictures

After completely forgetting to take pictures in February, I made sure that I took nature pictures in March! (For those of you who don’t know about my photo challenge, you can read about it here.) I certainly wasn’t lacking in subjects this time. The flora and fauna seem to believe that spring has arrived. I sure hope they’re right! There is still a very good chance of frost and snow until Memorial Day weekend here in Michigan. But with 70-80 degree temperatures all week, flowers and trees are blooming prolifically!

The daffodils have all bloomed.

Daffodil blooms remind me of the sun. They are such bright and cheery flowers!

“And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Matthew 6:28-29

I had fun with my macro lens. I bought it for the purpose of taking photos like this!

If the plant doesn’t get killed by a frost, our lilacs should bloom this year.

There is so much beauty found in delicate buds. It’s amazing to think that the lush foliage we enjoy throughout the summer starts from a tiny bud!

Our daylilies are up as well. I have no doubt they would survive even if we did have snow. It’s nearly impossible to keep them contained or to kill them.
