REPOST: Spring pictures

4/08/2012 10:31:00 AM
I first posted this in 2009, and I think it's appropriate for today, too.

Whether you are celebrating Easter, Passover, or just the return of springtime this weekend, here are a few pictures of what spring looks like in the various places mentioned in Diana Gabaldon's books.

(Please note, I didn't take any of these myself! The photos come from webshots.com.  Click on the photos to enlarge them.)

Thank you for these photos, Karen, all of them are so very beautiful! I can hardly pick a favourite, but the Gorse at Loch Morar and the blooming tree are very lovely.

Nicole:

I have a redbud tree in front of my house, and I love the look of it when it's blooming. (Very much like the picture, although my tree is not as big.) You can see redbuds in bloom from a long way off, even while driving, because of the distinctive color. (Most of the year the leaves are a dark red.)

I'm glad you liked the pictures!
