"On the cusp of an explosion".....these are words that create worlds. What a beautiful display of forest artistry showing how talented she really is, making the tiniest detail spring into life. The buds were simply exquisite. I do have to ask about the skunk cabbage, does it really give off that scent?
It does give off a skunky smell, quite strong early in spring when they are everywhere, but it's also a bit floral. I don't find it off-putting at all, then again, I have lived around it my whole life, so maybe I'm just used to it. 😉
"An explosion of greenery and foliage and flowers". This describes perfectly your photos!

This post gave me a sense of calm as I read it. Your pictures and writing seem to have a magical effect. Beautiful :)
Thank you, I am so pleased to hear that. 🥰
Thank you again, Whitney, for a beautiful pause in the middle of my day.
🤍
Lovely. You put into words the feelings in my heart as I walk a quiet trail. ❤️
Thank you, that makes me really happy to hear. 🤍
How beautiful! We are just on the cusp of greening here, too!
It's such an exciting time. 😊
Looks like my back yard. PNW. Beautiful plant choices.
There is nothing so refreshing as the verdant leaves of spring! That intense green just ready to burst forth….!
PS- I loved the yellow blooms of the skunk cabbage! We don’t have that in my part of the country so it was a real treat!
The skunk cabbage is prolific here, but it's such a nice burst of yellow in the spring!
