Springtime on river Mrežnica, Belavići, Croatia

One of the best things about retirement is having time to savor nature as a season comes and goes. Instead of looking at the walls of an office, I can look at a rose : )

Springtime

Not too long to wait now and something to look forward to on a dark winter`s morning.

There's nothing quite like the show of lilacs in the spring. They are not only pretty, but they smell heavenly. I just love these flowers! HSS!

Spring is around the corner and the mating season is in full swing here in Florida with the snowy egrets in their plumage and will continue through May.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for your visit and support!

Out and about on my daily stroll after a short but sharp shower. Things are certainly starting to burst into bloom.

Thank you for your visits and comments, dear friends, I do appreciate them all:-) Stay safe and healthy:-)

The trees are all in full leaf, poppies are everywhere and the vines are beginning to show themselves. It truly gladdens the heart, especially after what seemed to be a long and cold winter (someone said it was the coldest winter here for ten years).

Enjoy your day my Flickr friends 😊

Many of the flowers that you connect with springtime are actually bulb flowers, planted back in fall.

Happy Weekend everyone, have a safe and peaceful one.

Thank you for your visits and kind comments dear friends. They are very much appreciated 💐💐💐😊

We visited St Raphael on the Riviera yesterday for a very long lunch with old friends of my partner. On the way and not too far from where we live we drove through a huge field crammed full of poppies. We went back there this morning so I could take a few snaps. This is one of them. The land was flat and it was difficult to capture the full majesty of the acres of red poppies. Perhaps they're better just viewed from the confines of a passing car and left at that?!

My nectarine tree is flowering beautifully at the moment.

Thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.

Happy month my friends <3

The official start of Spring is still about six weeks away in the Northern Hemisphere. So for those of us in the snow belt, here's an image from the Spring 2020 archives to provide perhaps a bit of warmth in the interim.
