I have expressed this message with a flower. They form a major part of my photography and a garden is where I get great enjoyment, especially if I haven’t had to dig it myself.
Just to let you all know who have communicated with me, have visited, commented or favoured my images over the last week that I will catch up with everyone. I have been in Hospital for about 6 days and had many tests, with more to come.
Wishing everyone all the very best, should be visiting all, I try not to leave anyone out.

Overcast and rain showers today, the sun never showed itself.The rain splattered crocus standing proud ,remaining closed and not tempted to show their full colours.
I, even I, am he who comforts you.
Who are you that you fear mere mortals,
human beings who are but grass,
that you forget the Lord your Maker,
who stretches out the heavens
and who lays the foundations of the earth,
that you live in constant terror every day
because of the wrath of the oppressor,
who is bent on destruction?
For where is the wrath of the oppressor?
(Isaiah 51:12-13)
The image was taken during a walk. I saw these crocuses growing wild on a bank and all were reaching towards the light!
I was able to isolate this particular flower from most of its neighbors, highlighting its lovely form, colors, and glow. I extended the dark shadows in the image by mirroring them in the black frame :)
Enjoy, and have a great weekend everyone!
A very late spring, but Nose Hill is once again covered with crocuses overlooking downtown Calgary 6 km away.
I have been tracking the crocus appearance on Nose Hill for 17 years now. In 2016, I saw the first crocus on March 19. This year and back In 2020, I saw my first crocus on April 25.
Thank you everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.
Much as we like to see wild rabbits here, we also enjoy seeing bulbs bloom. Wild things dig up and eat fresh bulbs. This tiny purple crocus began to bloom in the half-whiskey or wine barrel filled with soil. A joy to see.
Mother Nature is a tease. All of our spring blooms are over a month late. Trees haven't even budded out. It snowed on Monday and is supposed to be 80 this weekend. So, we will have to wait and see if we get spring or not. Blooms or not?
Des jolis crocus pour vous souhaiter un week-end ensoleillé.
Pretty crocuses to wish you a sunny weekend.

the valid name of the Hungarian populations should be C. variegatus.
