Betty says: 

Every year about this time I await the Gardenia blooms. They first appear as tightly spiraled green buds. They swirl to open and release the sweetest scent. We have a gardenia bush at each of the four corners of our house. The two varieties bloom about two weeks apart so we enjoy the beauty and fragrance for a full month.
Enjoy!

Had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to submit..... So I just blended a background to the main fork image. I also did some cropping to one area I didn't like. This blending thing is interesting.

Spring has sprung on the mountain and there is an air of anticipation in the air. Sprouts sprouting. Nest building underway. . Hope and eagerness for the days ahead.
