Very pretty. We're a little past it now, but Father Andrew Greeley referred to "the green lace of spring" rsdsharp Apr 2024 #2

Green lace of spring is a very fitting term, I think. The trees are way past leafing out 1,200 ft below us in town, but TeamProg Apr 2024 #3

Thanks for sharing your Spring photo, my dear TeamProg!

from the buds-‘n’-blooms stage to Time to Leaf Out!

We see it all over everywhere here (NW Oregon). Birds have LOTS of hide-the-nest potential in plenty of time to lay eggs.

I’m NO expert but I’ve enjoyed watching the seasons come and go up here every year, and it’s everything they say about it. Nothing like it in SoCal. Palm trees everywhere down there. Pine trees everywhere up here!

😁❤️👍
