Spring! Colors! Smith bulb show

A myriad of colors and welcome fragrances, entrance you as you walk through the greenhouses at Smith college.

This is an Annual Event. Each March they open the Horticulture Greenhouses to the public.  Each year, I go!  An Artist's Date!

Within are gathered an array of blooming bulbs.  Freesia is my favorite fragrance! There are several Orchids, and a multitude of Tulips! 


Here and there are groups with harmonizing colors, over there, and above may be an arrangement of deep contrast to excite you! 

Plenty to see, and breathe!

A welcome signpost that Spring will be soon, and there will be flowers and trees in bloom, soft moist air, and birdsongs!

After my lingering walk through the greenhouses, I went for a walk at the pond where I found an old friend!  We had a wonderfu visit. 
                   
Just love this serendipity!
How many shades of yellow are there, anyway?

Wearing a camera around one's neck is also a way to have fun, be helpful, and meet people. 

Twice, I was asked to take photos of people with their cameras!



As you can see from the bottom photo, nature is not shy!                                                   

Yipes Stripes!

Which one is your favorite?

  2. Oh my, your photographs are remarkable! Which one is my favorite? Hard decision, but I do love the light filtering through the white flowers in your first shot!
    How delightful to spend time there and then run into a friend! A lovely day indeed!
