Ramsons .....
This is what the plant looks like when it's emerging .... I love to look at it when it's just split open like this.
(See next shot for other stages.)

I have this bush in front of my front door. It had a very hard time in the last year. The summer was way too hot and the winter too cold....lucky to see new buds coming up :-)

This is my last post in a couple of weeks. I'll be off for some vacation with the family in Sweden. I do consider this shot sort of iconic picture of the bokeh serie I've been posting and surely there are more interesting of the genre but in this I find a great clarity of the buds vs that background bokeh making it sort of the representative shot. I dedicate this to all flickr photographers out there that showed me the world of bokeh and that made me curios about it and particularly to *ᕈᗩᕰᒪ that also introduced me technically to this kind of photography. He explained that you don't need the most expensive gear to get the best bokeh result, the contrary with a used prime lens (which one can find used for about 30-60 euro) you can do marvelous things. And it was exactly what I did find, a superb little gem. The pentax m50 f1.7!
So gear do count yes but that doesn't mean that it must necessarily cost a lot of money.
By the way check out *ᕈᗩᕰᒪ's amazing stream!

Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen on the west coast of Norway during the Middle Ages.
At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.
In 1838, the whole parish of Bud was established as Bud Municipality. The municipality was reduced in size in 1918 when Hustad Municipality was created

It’s a fine line between high key and not there at all!
Bamboo cotton buds (or Q-Tips depending on which side of the Atlantic).
Calendula (Marigold) bud.
Taken 5 years ago (time goes so quickly).
Its going to be 31c today and 28 tomorrow we probably won't get anything below 28c for a few more weeks.
Have a fabulous day.
This bud's for me...alone in the spotlight of sun in the garden, ready to spring into a beautiful spray of agapanthus blooms and a tiny drop of dew at the top to make it special.
