    Because, well, ain't that the ENTIRE reason that "springtime" is my favorite season of the year...??? ;-) :-) :-)

    Pic #1 is just some kinda random weed in the backyard, with otherwise lovely purple blooms. (which photo'ed better than the ones on the tree/shrub)

    #2 is two just-emerging flowers starting to come out. In another week or two (at the most) the entire bush they're attached to will become a *gorgeous* and fragrant buncha lovely pink flowers.

    #3 is, why try to hide it, just a couple of most ordinary dandelions I also caught a glimpse of while otherwise looking for photo ops. Dandelions are pretty flowers too, aren't they...?? ;-)

    And #4 is somebody else's bush, actually in the yard next door to the 'cleanout house' I've been otherwise pillaging for the last few weeks. We went by there this afternoon mostly to give some extra luvvins to Bear, the big 'ole sweet puppydog that is the only current 'occupant' of that house, even if just in its backyard. I'm unabashedly a "cat person" myself, but one way or the other greatly enjoyed the chance to take him for a walk around the 'hood there (nobody shot at me anyways?!) and I'm betting he enjoyed it too. ;-) :-)

      More beautiful Springtime photos! Great Tim, thanks. keep brightening things up! :^D The Dandelions, are pretty, but I really don't like them in my front lawn and battle with them everyday in the Spring, pulling them out! >}:^D Remember Stay at Home and Stay Well! :^)

      The purple one is Lunaria, commonly called "Honesty."
      Not a weed but an old fashioned cottage garden plant that also has value for dried arrangements, as it has silvery, moon - shaped seed pods (I guess that's why it's called Lunaria.
      Second one is a rhododendron.
      Fourth one is a flowering quince.

      I concur with IronLace—he knows his plants!
      The Lunaria is commonly also called Money Plant since, after the seed pod dries and outer parts fall away, the round silvery parts left on the plant look like coins (or moons).
      If you just toss the seeds on the ground and leave them alone, they will grow just fine, self seeding for years to come.

      HUGE HUGS [nothing 'inappropriate' in any way, of course?!] to IronLace (and Watchsearcher) especially for your expertise in telling me what I took pics of!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) Frankly I'm lucky if I'm able to keep a simple ivy houseplant alive from year to year -- all the stuff that just 'does its own thing' in my backyard (etc) is just one of the (big, mind 'ya) perks that drew me to wanna make this little bit of Planet Earth "my home". :-)

      More HUGE thanks, of course, to valentino97 & billretirecoll for your kind comments, also clockerman, fortapache, Newfld, MALKEY, Brunswick, hotairfan, officialfuel, aura, vynil33rpm, & vetraio50 for sharing your <love it>s of my meager phonecam pics. I am SO HAPPY that each and every one of y'all somehow got a little "joy" from my efforts!

      And of course -- the 'moneyplant' thing with the purple blooms -- I shoulda remembered what that one was (at least) since, in retrospect, I can also allow is but one of the 'earliest' ones to pop up in my backyard -- there's a bunch more in the front 'flowerbed' that haven't quite started to bloom yet (but no doubt will in another few days) which I *do* always just toss their little seedpods on the ground and leave 'em there every year...thus why every year there's a few more of 'em I suppose...? ;-) :-) :-)
