On the first day of Spring I gave the boys the camera and we went looking for signs of Spring. It was great to get outdoors and hike around. Here are a few things they found.
The post oak with it's new flowers.
A little purple flower growing near the pond.
A white flowering bush
A flowering fruit tree (peach, I think).
And the lovely fire ants we have in Texas!
The cottonwood showing it's flowers-We have been waiting to see whether this tree was female or male. The one in our old neighborhood was male. This one happens to be a female. You can identify them by their flowers.
The beautiful wisteria we found that was climbing on a neighbor's tree.
After all the fun of searching for Spring we decided to attempt to paint spring trees with the aid of this tutorial. It was so much fun and the boys loved the way the branches on the tree looked real. Happy Spring!!
