Spring!

[fullygoldy]

I feel the need for some beautiful spring sights.  And as my workload has suddenly (almost unexpectedly) diminished, I decided to make a themed set of icons.  These are definitely shareable:


       

These are some of my favorite flowers. The magnolia isn't really a "spring" flower, but I include it because I love it's citrusy scent, and I have fond memories of the enormous magnolia tree that lived outside our bedroom window in S. Carolina.  Also, and you can't really tell from this set, if the flower is yellow, I'm probably going to love it.

The Wisteria has bloomed here and now the orange blossoms are sending their fragrance abroad. We have an orange and grapefruit tree outside our front door and both are blooming now. Love your icons.

It's been so long since I've lived where oranges blossom, that I totally forget about them! When I lived in Chico, the streets were lined with orange trees, and a local store owner had a contract with the city to clean up the oranges from the street/harvest them. He made them into fresh squeezed OJ and therefore was paid twice for his harvest! Growing up, we had one of every type of orange-like fruit and a lemon and a lime tree in our backyard. Delish!

I have seen crocuses. Purkle, yes I have, blooming their fatheads off. I have seen the pointy shoots of crocus buddies, wrapped up in anticipation and mystery: "What are we going to be? Will we be Daffys, do you think? Or snowdrops? Hmm? wouldn't you like to know!"

I keep looking in the neighbor's yard - but haven't seen anything yet. We only have tulips, and it's still too early, but hopefully the forsythia will start blooming soon.
