This is the second of my series of glimpses of spring in
the U.P. (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan.
I love seeing the spring unfold here
every year
after our long winters.
These marsh marigolds grow all over here, especially in or around wetlands. They are commonly called "cowslips":
A little wildflower in the woods.
I am too lazy today to look up their name!:
Cherry blossoms on the branches:
A bird's nest:
I love it when my tulips open wide
and
we can see all the wonderful interiors:
The walkway to our front door
is paved with tulips
every spring:
(Just ignore the long grass next to the tulips...we mowed the next day, HONEST!!)
One of my favorite tulips for its color combination:
And creeping phlox!
Another one of my favorite spring flowers!:
Stay tuned for some future posts
of some more
signs of spring in the U.P.
which I will continue to share
with all of you....
