Forsythia Hedge 12x9 pastel, copyright 2012
The mild winter and early spring has meant an abundance of blooms everywhere. Forsythia is a common bush around here since it is one of the first plants to flower. One of our neighbors has a yard lined with them, and this year they were fuller than I have ever seen. The bright flowers made a wonderful contrast to the dark evergreens behind, especially in the early morning sun. There is an old saying, "Three snows after the forsythia blooms", but it's looking like that won't happen this year.
