Colors of Spring

April 26

Some might think the color of spring is green....and it is,  as we watch the bare brown twigs start to leaf out,  growing greener over these weeks.  This privet,  for example.    And the mosses that have been coming alive over the past month.

But I find the other colors of spring equally wonderful:  the red of the new maple buds and the growing huckleberry on the moors;  the white of the earliest wildflowers,  and the yellow,  not only of the daffodils,  but of the yellowy greens that come first.  They can also result in some great color combinations:  like the swamp maple red and lichen.
