For today's Ruby Tuesday we have a photo that announces Spring! My little ornamental pear tree is about to burst forth.
I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow
to keep an appointment with a beech-tree,
or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.

Nice capture.
oh sweet / come see the pear trees on my MY World post
Delightful sign of Spring paired with a wonderful quote ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
The littlest natural ruby in March allows our thoughts to be directed to the Spring to occur, with presumably (or rather hopefully) warmer days. Nice capture!
Ooo I've never seen one of these. They are beautiful. Well done :)
Love that photo. Rich colors and depth, interesting to view. Happy to see spring has arrived.
"ornamental pear tree" - there's one of those on our block; I've been looking for the buds to open. Not as open as yours yet.
Nature has a beautiful way to celebrate spring, with all these new sprouts and buds dresses up in lovely colors.
Nice photo.
Love the quote and the bud! Happy Spring Mary!
Here in Oz we're welcoming the cool of Autumn, but all your Spring shots are a nostalgic joy. I love your piece about small miracles!
Happy Tuesday Spring :D
My entry this week : in HERE. I hope you have time to visit. Thanks
Nice shot. I hadn't realized that spring was the theme, but luckily I posted spring flowers, too, wild flowers on a rock.
Lovely shot! Those buds are just wonderful. Enjoy your sunny weather!
I love seeing the early signs of spring! I got a photo of the first forsythia blossom Saturday.
good imagexlynda
That's a promising scene!
Blissful Ruby Tuesday
I love the in focus out of focus aspects.
Love the buds, and the daffodils too.
I have been looking for signs of spring everywhere. We had a couple of days of balmy weather, but now it's chilly here again.
Happy Spring -- looks like it's actually going to be there! Thanks again for doing this meme.
Nice photo! Here's to warmer days and a breath of new life! happy Ruby Tuesday :)
Mine is here!

I love new blossoms! they're so sweet and hopeful
your new header is gorgeous!!
Great symbol of spring. Wanna see it grow. Haven't seen a real one yet.
You may want to take a tour to the Ayutthaya Ruins if you have time.
I love the miniature complexity of Spring buds. We're not quite there yet, but soon I'll be able to enjoy such miracles here in The Berkshires!
Spring is bursting upon you and summer has left us, but I'm still waiting for Autumn to show her colorful face. Hope you take photos of the beautiful blossoms those new sprouts are going to produce.
Those little Japanese dolls came from a very cheap shop close to where I live, paying a high price for things isn't always necessary. Thank you for the compliment on my header photo too. :))
Have a lovely spring break!
that is a great photo!

Isn't spring beautiful ? It's so true to say that Mother nature is pregnant !
hi mary t...oh these buds are such a welcome sight!
our lilac bushes have some small buds already and the tulips are starting to pop up, or the stems are anyway...and a very few snow drops and crocuses.
so glad that we are probably not going to have any more snow!!
happy ruby tuesday to you!..love terry
Very pretty.
Great to see these fresh beginnings! Love the hints of red on these opening blooms!
Yay for Spring!

Your header and your photo, they tell me how much you love Spring!
That's beautiful, everything is blooming.
ornamental pear!? I wonder if they look like the edible pears.
What an anticipation it is to await spring, and the warmth it brings along to our world.
Spring is budding and we love it!!!
Spring is not as far along here but it's coming! Love new buds and yours are delightful!
Great Capture ,Happy Spring !
