Last week I went on strike because the weather had been so cold and gloomy I didn’t even get out to photograph. This week spring is asserting itself again. So I went into my backyard to look for signs of spring. Photographing my blooming forsythia was a challenge but I also found the leaves on my hydrangea bush starting to unfurl. Crocuses and daffodils are blooming all around but this shot really spoke to me of the unfolding of spring.
