We are just about mid-way between the start of Spring and the Summer Solstice on the calendar, but you wouldn't know it if you've been hanging in our part of the country.  If you want to see some amazing photography and what the weather has been like in the Olympic Mountains, high above us, check out this post in mid-April of his visit to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park by photographer Lee Rentz.I've been worried about our Maple trees that looked pretty dead until I noticed yesterday some buds forming. 

The Japanese Maples did bud and have started to unfurl their leaves this past week.

Our primroses have never looked so big and beautiful!

And these have popped up all over so they obviously enjoyed the long winter.

Happy Beltaine Day!

Those leaves and buds are such a welcome sight, aren't they? This past week our yard has exploded in color, it's so beautiful! :)

Lovely photos. And Beltaine
