Crocuses, Daffodils and Hyacinths
What more can I say – it’s finally spring in the Washington DC area – and the flowers are really starting to bloom. I’ve managed several quick trips to local gardens in the past couple of weeks. Here are some of my favorite photos of the early spring flowers.

Tulips are starting to bloom this week. Usually the tulip beds at Brookside Gardens are spectacular. I’m hoping to get there in the next few days to see what’s starting to bloom.
In the meantime – please enjoy the spring flowers I’ve been photographing.
