A Colorful Spring

Spring has sprung here at the Blackberry Patch. 


Delicate ferns rising like
sea horses from the earthen floor


Violets bring back sweet memories
of children with a fistful of purple
and a wide grin on their face


Green coats and purple corsages
never looked more beautiful


The sweet scent and the soft shades of pink and white 
foretell the coming of rusty golden delicious apples




These baby 'trees' will bring forth
concord grapes, bursting with tart juice


Pink, white and green blend together
in perfect harmony 


Baby pears, tiny and delicate and just the
perfect shade of green.

Go here if you want to watch the baby eagles in Shepherdstown,  WV. They are growing fast!

  5. Spring has definitely sprung in WV! You're a little ahead of us here in New England, but we're showing Spring signs with early forsythias, daffodils, a few tree blossoms.

  7. I'd love to grow cold climate flowers. So much more choice than tropical flowers. I like your photos too. xo
