Looking for Signs of Spring: A Walk Around the Neighborhood

After school on Monday, we went for a walk around our neighborhood to look for signs of spring. As an extension of the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge (Phoneography Challenge: My Neighborhood), I gave my iPhone to my five-year-old son and asked him to take photos of what he could find.Β  The signs he saw were primarily floral… wildflowers and blossoming trees.Β  We did see our first lizards of the season, but they were too quick for my son to capture a photo of them.

Interested in taking a walk with your child to look for signs of the season? Check out this post for details… Take a “Signs of Spring” Walk.

Here are a few of the photos my son took on our walk…

  4. Nothing is more cheerful than those California poppies. They make yellow daffodils look shy and retiring.

    1. The poppies are growing more and more beautiful each day as they fill out and expand to cover more and more of the hillsides.
