Between rain and snow showers, the Mahogany Holly continues to bloom happily !!

A perfect spring day in the wine country of the Russian River Valley, Sonoma County.

A wild set of growths spawn from the base of a beech tree deep in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire.

Getting up one very frosty morning, I found this amazing structure about 2 inches high, growing from the birdbath. Completely round it looks like a frozen tornado, or whirlpool.

Transforming this mushroom-image, into this one. It was fun ;-))

HSS everyone!

I'm enjoying seeing the new growth in my wife's garden, including the grape hyacinths springing up through the ivy.

most people are afraid of a new beginning as it often times means that new challenges are ahead. with an apprentice's mindset, one is able to look into themselves and find the true value that you are bringing into your new destiny. use these tests as a chance to make yourself better for the future.

Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!

I really appreciate them!

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments, awards and faves! I always tell myself that I will go through and thank each individual on each image but I never seem to have enough time. So please know that all of you are very much appreciated!!!

You are my baby, but it’s not up to me

What you become that is up to you

I hope you will be gentle, kind, compassionate and free

No matter what I’ll always love you unconditionally

Didn't know about this.

This old silo near tiny Paynes Point IL. has become a planter pot for a young tree. Not the first time I have seen this, but no less cool....

The last growth before winter months bring the cold front hits our shores.

As the past slowly fades away, the world continues on

Potting utensils left behind next to the kitchen garden in the "Haus der Offiziere", an old military training quarter in Wünsdorf from 1910. After the war it served the Russian military in East Germany until 1994.

In a witches’ broom, the growth of a lateral bud – the buds that make twigs and side shoots – loses control and causes multiple stems to form in a tangled, disorganised manner. Multiple years of growth is required to create big brooms.

More noticeable now as the tree loses it’s leaves.

Suppressed by mistake. Apologies to all of you who had favoured it and commented.
