    Terri, that sunburst is just glorious! Today is bright and sunny with a high temp of 75F where I live. Spring has sprung.

        We’ve had more than enough rain this March (way over the seasonal average) and more to come tomorrow 😦

    The Spring Equinox was yesterday (20th March) here in the UK, Terri, so you got it a day ahead of us. Unfortunately, no sign of the sun yesterday to welcome spring in.

    Great captures in yoiur part of the world though. Happy Spring.

      Thanks, Hugh. There seemed to be confusion as to why the equinox was on the 19th. I read the date change was related to the leap year. In any case, spring also means crazy weather and after these record breaking warm days we’ve had here, we may see more snow!!

    Lovely sunburst, Terri. There’s a blue spot in the clouds in your first pic. I wonder what that is.
    We didn’t get much sun today. We got rains and it was beautiful. I took photos but my post wasn’t ‘wordless’ :), so I did not share the link here.

    Happy Spring Equinox to you!

      Thank you, Smitha! That blue spot is a lens flare but it seems more well defined that most of them. Perhaps an equinox fairy? 😉

      The pine tree is on a trail near our house, and the sunrise was captured across the street as I opened my front door yesterday morning…early!

    Way too lovely. If I was smarter, I could figure out the height of the tree with its shadow and my high school geometry. Sigh.
