We have officially waved goodbye to cold weather here in northeast Florida and have opened our arms to spring. Dormant trees are sprouting new leaves, the marsh grasses are changing back to green, colorful blooms abound wild in nature and gardens, and pollinators like hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees are busily moving from flower to flower.
Scroll through the pictures below to see all the natural beauty of Amelia Island in the springtime and then get out and explore it on your own. I’m pretty sure we’re gonna “grow” on you. Happy Earth Day!
