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.

I love my neighbour's tree that hangs over the fence into my garden ... I had to wait to be able to focus, it was a little breezy.

Wishing you all a lovely week, dear friends and visitors:-)

The year has gone so fast (at least for me) and now as autumn sets in, I start to miss spring when all the blossoms are out and the freshness of a new season is so exhilarating. I came across this in all my photos and dedicate it to my favorite season gone too soon! Thanks for your faves and comments!

The Petunia 'Night Sky,' is an award winner. The launch of this special flower marks a breeding breakthrough. No other Petunia plant can boast the starry speckled pattern of this unique bloom. White speckles against a deep purple-blue backing recreate a clear night sky.

I love it, but the good Lady Bo does not. Her pretty damning verdict went, "I don't like that - it's horrible!" Over to you guys and gals ... :-)

Blooms of lavender and cream are first to decorate the barren winter ground in my garden.

I'd seen these tiny flowers on a walk on Easter Sunday, but I'd only had a standard zoom lens along then. So I mounted my Minolta AF macro lens (+ Sony adapter) before I went out yesterday (Easter Monday). The flowers are 1-2cm in diameter, and simply beautiful. A fairly strong wind added some motion blur to the flowers on the right. [SNY06838_lr_2000]

Not far from the home of the Curly Cows

lies Happyville, a small village deep in one of the southern counties of England. The very happy residents show their eccentricity in their houses, building them in unconventional shapes and painting them all with bright colours. Their only slight nod to normality is to plant highly fragranced blossom trees in the streets so that in Spring the air is full of the beautiful smell of fresh blossom and the sound of pollen-hungry bees.
