Signs of Spring: One Massive Forsythia

Bayport, NS

May 4, 2013

This year, I managed to capture an early Spring shot of this massive forsythia bush in Bayport.  I'll try to get more shots of it while it blooms.

It's not easy to distinguish, but there's a nice weeping willow behind the forsythia.  It's got lime green buds popping out at the moment...with all this warm weather I'm sure the leaves will be out any day.  Today?

Big 'ole Forsythia

I marvel at this massive forsythia bush on my daily commute.  Unfortunately, I didn't catch the blossoms at their peak.  I included the shed in the shot to give a sense of the sheer size of this roadside shrub.  Not your average forsythia, that's for sure!

Not ready to say goodbye to the forsythia

I've posted a picture of this house before, I love that shade of blue...especially with some gorgeous forsythia yellow as an accent colour. Sigh....

A symphony of colour!

I was overwhelmed by all the colour this weekend. Glorious magnolia, forsythia and cherry blossoms everywhere! Farmers' fields were so green, I could imagine that I was in Ireland..

This shot was taken last week, under overcast skies, not quite as electric as the sights this past weekend, but a pleasant dash of colour nonetheless.

Can't keep a good colour down

Fading forsythia blossoms....gonna miss you!
