Het Savelsbos (Limburgs: Savelsbösj) is een 6 km lange, vaak smalle gordel van hellingbossen op de (vaak steile) oostelijke maasdalhelling oostelijk en zuidoostelijk van Maastricht en gelegen tussen de dorpen Cadier en Keer, Gronsveld, Eckelrade, Sint Geertruid, Moerslag en Rijckholt. De oppervlakte bedraagt ca 240 ha. Het bos kent zeer steile, vaak eroderende hellingen met hoogteverschillen van 70 m tot 125 m boven NAP met veel trappenpaden. De bodem bestaat uit krijtverweringsgronden, löss en grindlagen.
At a distance the Alders look like an ocher cloud. Spring seems earlier every year. It still gets below freezing some nights.
WE ARE SURROUNDED by BEAUTY... I found the 'perfect' ones!
To me, they represent some of the best examples that the plant world has to offer.

Preparing for the arrival of his family by building a new home in the 'Green Cay Wetlands subdivision' is the order of the day for this Cattle Egret. It's always a treat to see which birds have joined the increasing number of rookeries at both Green Cay and Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
Here's another shot at the Fork Mountain Overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway, but this time with some budding tree branches in the foreground. With recent warm temperatures, I imagine these have progressed significantly since I took this shot!

it appears that the hydrangea may be coming in in fuschia, but it has surprised us before!! (see first comment box for the buds a little while ago)

The Pink Camelia is all in bud I'm hoping these cold nights don't get them! Have a colourful day you wonderful folks out there.
Experimenting with cross-processing, that is where the blue and purple hue come from. Looks different from other people's x-processing, but I just love colors. ;-)
Please no glittering graphics and long invites. Thank you.
In contrast with this year's unusually warm winter, 2018 had a freak cold snap in March. This one of the of many plants that got caught out by the sudden drop in temperature.
I came across this shrub on my walk today - was intrigued by the shape of these leaflets.

Our redbud tree is covered with buds this year. I love the way they show up everywhere, all over the tree, even on the trunk!

I have an idea why this is happening, but it is only an idea ! It has to do with the 26000 year wobble of the earth. I suppose you could say climate change, but it would be more on the order of climate shift driven by the slowing of the ocean currents. I have been reading everything I can find on the ancient civilizations ( the Maya had an interesting take on it. The Mayan calendar was made up of 5 bactunes of around 5000 and some years. Each bactunes had occurrences unique to itself culminating with the 5th bactune which brought about the end of the world and their calendar. It suggests a cycle in which everything starts all over again. A rebirth. If you take the 5000 and some odd year bactunes and multiply by five you are in the time sequence of the 26000 yr wobble. It would be much more complicated though.
When you watch someone taking a photograph and their rapt concentration suddenly gives way to a look of quiet satisfaction you know how they feel. It is a quiet, gentle thrill getting a shot that pleases. It can bring pleasure through all ages of life. I cannot help but wonder if this thrill is diminished somewhat by the ease with which decent images can be taken with the ever present phone ... or perhaps it is allowing a new generation to concentrate less on hardware and technique and be more open and free to the process of image creation itself. I like to think it is the latter.
When you let the grandkids take photos on Thanksgiving.
I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. Have a super day!
Passiflora caerulea, the blue passionflower, bluecrown passionflower or common passion flower, is a species of flowering plant native to South America. It has been introduced elsewhere. It is a vigorous, deciduous or semi-evergreen tendril vine growing to 10 m (33 ft) or more. Its leaves are palmate, and its fragrant flowers are blue-white with a prominent fringe of coronal filaments in bands of blue, white, yellow, and brown. The ovoid orange fruit, growing to 6 cm (2 in), is edible, but is variously described as having a bland, undesirable, or insipid taste. In South America, the plant is known for its medicinal properties, and is used by both the Toba and the Maka peoples.
