I Came Home to Spring!

I’m back from the Springtime in the South photo tour to Savannah and Charleston – and happily photographing spring flowers here at home. When I left, daffodils were just starting to bloom in the DC area – how they’re in full bloom everywhere. The cherry blossoms have peaked (I missed seeing the ones at the Tidal Basin this year). Spring wildflowers are starting to bloom – and even the tulips are blooming at local gardens.

Here are a few of the flowers I found to photograph in my first few days back home.

Cutleaf Toothwort (cardamine concatenata) – an early spring blooming wildflower photographed along the C&O Canal

 

 

 

Some purple hyacinths at a local garden

 

 

 

And some yellow & green tulips – probably a type of parrot tulip but since the signs aren’t out yet – I’m not sure

 

 

 

Given the way things are starting to bloom here in the DC area – I have the feeling I’m going to be out photographing frequently in the next few weeks. 🙂
