I headed up to Tulsa’s Wooward Park to see if the Daffodils were blooming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"_DSC0094\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And oh, man!! They sure were blooming. The blooms were fresh and people hadn’t picked them, yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They were beautiful. There were a couple of young women sitting in amongst them (they were carefully making sure they were not trampling photos) and taking selfies. Usually I take photos of all people doing selfies but I left them alone to enjoy the flowers. They were probably taking photos of me and posting about the creepy old guy lurking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They also had lots of hyacinths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"_DSC0104\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And tulips<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\"_DSC0100\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They had forsythia shrubs blooming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And rebuds. I’ve always loved that stone staircase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The big trees don’t have their leaves yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And they still have remnants of trees knocked down on during our Father’s Day Windstorm in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yep, Spring is Springing in Woodward Park!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
