The terraces at Canary Springs are perched on the edge of a hill. These terraces, composed of calcium carbonate (travertine), are part of Mammoth Hot Spring in Yellowstone National Park. Terraces that have active water flow are covered by orange, yellows and cream colored thermophilic organisms like cynobacteria and bacteria. The water for the hot springs comes from precipitation in the surrounding mountains that runs down into the subsurface. The water is heated at depth. As the water rises it dissolves limestone in the subsurface beneath Mammoth and the surrounding mountains. The hot carbonate rich water comes to the surface and forms the travertine terraces. Geologists estimate that at any given time about 10% of the water in Mammoth Hot Springs is on the surface. The other 90% remains underground.
I am back. I know what I have been saying about not taking that many shots but the actual month and a half break was not actually in the plan. I have devised my list of shots and many of them that I want feel that spring would be the right time of year.
This though, actually is not one of the places but I had previously had this circled out but it never materialised as I often come out to this area on a dull day or have to run for the bus home. Having though been standing here roughly 30 minutes it nearly did not happen again as it was rather challenging through cars, fast buses and the fact that I had not taken in ages.
So, here is the 20th bus in the original fleet of the future buses Lothian buses 458 seen here at Dobbies Garden Centre at the Edinburgh river Esk crossover point as Midlothian arrives on a service 29 to Silverknowes.

I had the chance to meet up with my old horticultural pal Montague Bergamot as he was doing his daily inspection of the herbaceous borders. So here are a few spring snippets.
For the clinically bored, here's the index.
Clockwise from top left:
Restio tetraphyllum, a really beautiful rush-like plant.
Cornus mas, or Cornelian cherry.
Arum italicum 'Maculatum'.
Euphorbia griffithii Fireglow, its sprouting stems look like posh asparagus, which is a bit of an oxymoron, but don't risk eating it, trust me!
I wonder where this thread will lead........
The Aston Norwood Gardens, Upper Hutt, New Zealand. The gardens are named after the place names where the parents of the original owners lived, in Aston, Birmingham and Norwood Green, London respectively.
Taken near Brockenhurst, New Forest a few weeks ago.
Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves :))))
Beautiful flowering crabapple trees at the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York. This is one of the weeping varieties, possibly Red Jade.
Home gardeners plant crabapple trees for their gorgeous display of flowers in spring and fruit in the fall. But apple growers will disperse them through an orchard where their natural virility combined with the ability to freely hybridize with conventional apples makes them perfect pollenizers. Growers commonly place one crabapple tree for every six or seven apple trees, Bees and other pollinators then ferry the crabapple pollen to other trees in the orchard.
I appreciate your all of kind comments. Have a great day whenever you see this!

This beautiful barn can be found at Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, IA.
Used partially to house animals for show like a petting zoo, Its upper floor has a large hall for meetings, schooling or weddings.
The white cupola is partially hidden by the branches - old but well kept.
Robert Frost (1915)
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.

To my surprise I could still find these at the height of 1.200 m above sea level. I thought they were since long gone, but they were still braving the late snow and blooming.
Graseck, near Schildenstein, Bavaria, Germany.
