Take Three Thursday

If an effort to notice more in my life, I have decided to share what I have noticed this week in Take Three Thursday.  The idea is to take 3 photos that are linked some how; by theme, by colour, by date, by moment,  by points of view. There is no formal link in but please feel free to join in.  What have you noticed this week?

 See what some others have noticed this week:

This week my wanderings have taken me past several large groves of forsythia & this year seems to be a particularly good year for their spring blooming.  Forsythia is one of those interesting plants that blooms before the leaves are produced.  I am sure there is lots of science behind why, but I like to think that The Universe knew that after winter's dullest moments we humans desperately needed some cheering & bright sunshine yellow of forsythia does just that.

My three this week are of two of those large forsythia groves that I witnessed in full blooming glory & the final photo is the beginnings of my own personal grove - small so far,  but oh the plans I have for it ...

  6. It's one of my mum's favourites. I think she'd agree with you about its cheeriness

  7. I'm always happy to see the forsythia. Like the daffodils, the cheery yellow color is an antidote to the gray months preceding them. Mine is on it's way to green now, but was lovely for longer than usual this year.
