Springtime Flowers and Pen Pals~

Hello all!
I hope you're enjoying your springs- I certianly am~ The flowers here have started blooming and everything is gorgeous and fragrant, I just love it~
Back when I lived in Colorado very few things bloomed in the springtime; mostly just dandelions and the occasional tulip. Here on the East Coast however, every year I'm stunned at the immense amount of gorgeous flowers. So, today I went out and took a ton of pictures of them. Since I like how many of them turned out, I decided I'd share them with you all, in case you don't get many flowers where you live ^.^
I took photos of flowers, leaves, and houses/other stuff, so I'll categorize them like that in this post. 
Super picture heavy!

Flowers

I really love these flowers. The color is just so pretty!

These are super puffy and once the leaves start to fall of, it's like a gorgeous shower of pink fluff

Pink, green, and blue look so nice together~ 

I'm obsessed with light flares in photos~

Sort of wilted, but dead flowers can be pretty too!

Lilacs smell really beautiful <3

The petals remind me of velvet~

I've never seen such a spiky tulip (I think it's a tulip)

Half dead, but I really liked the color. I rarely see such vividly purple flowers

Leaves/Trees

I'm really proud of this photo- I don't know why but it's so appealing to me 

More light flares (I told you, I'm obsessed)

Maple!

This makes me think of a lily pads.

Other Stuff

I wish I lived in this house ;A;

To me it looks like a pathway to a magical garden~

Stairs near my apartment complex~ Ignore the ugly trashcan

Before I leave, I wanted to quickly mention snail-mail~ I'm looking for some more pen-pals, since I have only 2 relatively frequent ones, but I like writing letters a lot so I want more >u< If you're in the US and around my age, send me an email at redsakurabeauty@gmail.com so we can talk a bit and then maybe become pen pals ^.^ I certainly love hand writing letters, and I figure that some of you out there must love it as well~

Thank you for reading! (Rather, looking. There was very little text in this). 
I hoped you like seeing what sort of blooms I got around here~
Bye-bye!
