NICE DAY IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD

It was such a nice day and I really needed some exercise, so I took my camera along to record some of the wonders of Spring (which I was beginning to think was a figment of my imagination along about the middle of February!) Anyhow, I snapped some pictures as I went along starting with my backyard and these gorgeous daffodils - for some reason (maybe the nitrogen in the snow?) they are taller, thicker and more beautiful than I've ever seen them - and they smell wonderful too!


Can you believe I snapped this robin's picture before he/she flew off? It must have been as startled as I was!


As I continue my "walkabout," I see some really pretty Forsythia blooming inside a pool area and I just HAVE to snap a picture!



Here is some of our common ground with a basketball court and where we have Association picnics in the summer. Everyone brings chairs, tables, food, blankets etc. and the Homeowner's Association provides the grills for the hamburgers and hot dogs.



I just love this Weeping Willow that is just starting to show a hint of green.
This is where boats and trucks are to be parked.

A pretty little pear tree just starting to bloom.




So ends my walk for this day, anyway, and some lovely pictures of my neighborhood. I hope you enjoyed waking along with me and, if you have, you can go to Susan at A Southern Daydreamerto see more Outdoor Wednesday posts.

You live in a very nice neighborhood. You did very well on your walk capturing so many pretty sights along the way. I participate in Pink Saturday. Our hostess for that day is Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog. She ask that we feature someone we have not visited before on that day. I would like to introduce you to the great pink ladies next Saturday. You will enjoy her blog.

A lovely walk, Ms. Daisy. I didn't know about the picnics before... we'll have to make sure we are visiting the next time a picnic is scheduled!

I'm only a fan of spring after the pollen blows away, which seems to take forever. It is a beautiful season.
