The neighbourhood is bursting with colour as the blossoming trees produce their vibrant pinks, reds and purples.

…..a cold weekend but a few minutes of sun now and then
Thanks Becca for hosting Sunday Trees. It was definitely a strange weather day for the middle of May. It was cold and windy and then the rain started, off and on for most of the day. I jokingly asked my husband if he was expecting more snow because our snow shovel wasn’t put away. He scoffed and told me not to even think like that. Too late. An hour later we experienced snow and hail. Luckily it didn’t last long.
Later in the afternoon I took the dog for a short walk. It was still cold but the sun made brief appearances between the clouds. I like the light in the late afternoon but I had to act quickly if I was going to get that perfect shot today. The trees are starting to sprout their leaves and I love that light yellow green of spring.
Same tree, taken minutes apart and at slightly different angles. Not exactly the perfect shot. The light that I like disappeared very quickly behind the clouds.

Here in the northern hemisphere (Toronto, Canada) the trees are just beginning to blossom. By next week this magnolia tree should be in full bloom.

I love how the late afternoon sun casts a perfect shadow onto the building.
….check out Becca Givens’ Sunday Trees this week and see if you can see the spirit bear
I took the first photo last Monday and five days later I took another shot of the same tree. How quickly things can change.


….thanks Becca for continuing to host Sunday Trees
I love how trees take on the shape of their environment.

….Happy Easter Sunday
I woke up to a bright sunny day but the clouds are starting to move in.

….first day of spring here in Toronto but you wouldn’t know it from our trees
Even though we’ve had an unusually warm winter and March, after the initial snow storm in the first week, has been very spring like, our trees are still very barren. Other than that there are other signs of springs everywhere. Thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees.
