About halfway to Columbia South Carolina I discovered that I would be passing right through Augusta Georgia directly at noon.
How perfect!
I called up my friend Siobhan and asked if she would like to meet me for a little bite of lunch somewhere close to the interstate. :-)
For morning was free – so we agreed to meet at the inner bean.
While driving down the road I spotted two of the most gorgeous trees in full pink regalia!
How perfect is this for Valentine's Day?
Spring has definitely arrived in Georgia!.
Spring in Georgia? I'm in southeastern GA, and it certainly isn't springlike here....
ReplyDeleteThen again, I've never seen a southern spring. Spring in WI is hit and miss..lol.
Augusta looks nicer than St Marys.
DeleteAnd Waycross. Until today, however it has been fairly warm. Today, the picture changed.

Deletewow this does look promising, soon it will be making its way to Ontario.
ReplyDeleteLove those trees in full pink bloom nice way to feel when you are in blooming love yourself...Happy Valentines to you Bonnie hope you have a grandios of a day.
Great picture in contrast to the 4-6" of new snow falling outside my window right now (Northern Michigan) ... travel safely and enjoy your Valentine's Day! Linda
ReplyDeleteGosh! I won't have a photo opportunity like that up here until May!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of spring!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to me how much sooner spring comes in the south. In Minnesota, where I live, the crab apples blossom the first week in May.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pics, I know spring is coming.
We are planting hanging baskets in our greenhouse today. It is a bit gloomy outside but it won't be long and we will be in full bloom too! (Northern Indiana) Safe travels Bonnie and enjoy the company of those southern quilters. I wish I could be there. :)
ReplyDeleteOn my way back from the gym this morning I was amazed at the number of trees in full bloom. Hope it doesn't feeze or there will be no peaches this year.
ReplyDeleteI am ready for Spring here in Oklahoma. The blooming trees are beautiful. Enjoy your trip

Georgia has a great deal of spring-time beauty. We used to live there and always went to visit the Azalea Gardens when in bloom. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of those times.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely to see some flowering trees.......
ReplyDeletewe still have mountains of snow.
safe travels Bonnie and Happy Sewing
beautiful trees. Sure wish we had anything pink or green in the garden, but nope we are still covered in white and not dogwood white....SNOW
ReplyDeletethanks for a colorful preview....still all white here
ReplyDeletelovely, but today has turned cold and it is going to be freezing or close in the next few days. brrrr...my azaleas are full of buds and blossoms too sigh...
ReplyDeleteGeorgia on my mind!
ReplyDeleteIt was great having lunch with you at the Inner Bean...you know you are welcome to stay if you get tired on the return trip! (don't even need to work on the machines this time!!)
ReplyDeleteThe trees appear to be red buds, although it is kind of hard to see from the photo. Beautiful, no matter what kind they are.
ReplyDeleteIt seems so strange to see the flowering trees when we had snow yesterday and expecting it again tomorrow. But I am sure it can't be much longer when it will start warming up here in Ky.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun trip.
Gorgeous trees!
ReplyDeletewe have several flowering cherries and dogwoods on our property and I am eagerly awaiting their blooming!
One year I was in Georgia wenn this flowers are bloomingand you now bring this memories back.. It is nice to see it again in Pictures. Thank you very much for it!
