Bridal Wreath Bough Against the Sky

Thanks so much, Agnes. Don’t you just love the spring! It rejuvenates the soul with its beauty.

Thanks so much, Joni! I almost popped off the globe trying to get this shot. The March winds were whipping like crazy and sending this little bough into a tailspin (and me too). I kept having to wait for it to die down so I could try again. Finally did it! It was fun!

Thank you, Ellen. Has spring arrived in the Netherlands yet? Bet the ladybirds are waiting for you to start snapping their photos!

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to leave a kind word!

Thank you, Christine. In keeping with the story I wrote about my blind friend, I’m reminded of how blessed we are to have the gift of sight and to enjoy such beauty day after day. Surely increases the sense of appreciation in me!

Thanks so much, Dee. Spring and I are best buddies so I spend lots of my day outdoors during these months! I hope you’re enjoying it too or will be soon!

Thanks so much, Krys. Do you have bridal wreathe in the UK? This is the same bush where I found the amorous ladybirds. Oh, and thanks for the word “florets” I was scouring my brain to remember it when I wrote the description and couldn’t. I knew flowerlets didn’t sound right and of course the spell check knew it, too. I’ll change that promptly in my description. So glad you jogged my memory!

Thanks so much, Jesika! I hope you and Jim are well and that you photo session with the “brain” next door proves successful. I’m sure it will. I appreciate your comments as always and of course our friendship!

Thanks so much, Joyce; I appreciate your kindness always. I’m enjoying spring immensely, and I hope you are, too.

I’ve only known this as bridal wreath in the past, but I looked it up and it’s also referred to as bridal wreath spirea. Thanks, Krys, you’ve educated me once again. You’re a teacher always on your toes!

Thank you, Sylvia. I value your gentle spirit and kind attention.

Thanks, Nanagahma! When I approached the bridal wreath, it occurred to me to get down at ground level and look up into the sky while photographing the boughs. It turned out to be a good thing! Just had to fight to wind and wait for times of respite between gusts!

Each flower is actually very tiny and delicate, Lora Mae. Yet, somehow the florets are sturdy and sway gracefully on long willowy boughs even in the roughest winds without falling apart. Thank you for your kind attention. God bless!

Spring is my favorite time of year, too; I was born April 30; maybe that’s why. Thank you for your kind comments and enjoy the season in good health and with your camera always poised for the next find!
