There I was, snapping pictures of clouds, when a flash of color at my feet caught my eye. There, bordering the Olympic Discovery Trail, were blooming crocus. The cool thing was that once I noticed one I discovered them all along the trail, dotting the landscape in small and large clusters. Hints of spring, swaddled in a purple blaze.
Great refreshing find. It pays to look down.
Without question, this is my very favorite flower and thank you for this lovely visual gift this morning. How I would have loved to see what you saw on the trail!
What a glorious welcome sight for those enduring a harsh winter — and even for those us “enduring” temps in the 40s. So pretty. Spring definitely is on the way! That’s one thing I occasionally miss about living in Florida: we just don’t have the sure signs of seasonal changes.
What beautiful colours!
I’m going to be singing “Deep Purple” the rest of the day. What wonderful, rich color!
Gorgeous colors!
Crocuses are the symbol of spring to me. I like seeing them here.
Can’t wait to spot something similar over here!
