Let Me Count the Trees
Tag: spring
I need my greens
I don’t seem to be the only one enjoying my greens. I’ve never seen so many people in the woods as today. Even the tower seems to astounded.
The Cosmic Photo Challenge: My Green World
You don’t know what you’ve been missing
I don’t think we miss colour in winter quite as much as people used to because they were more limited without artificial dyes and the like, e.g. I wear a bright yellow anorak in winter (I want to be seen on the road!). There are plastic toys and boxes etc. in our house. We can buy flowers and fruits all year round. There is tv and outside there are large billboards, often in glaring colours. Winter is not as grey as it used to be.
But then the first trees start blooming in soft pinks and whites, the first crocusses appear, and dandelions, specks of yellow and blue and then all of a sudden the riot of tulips start and looking at them one realises: I have been missing colour in my life.
On sunny days, there are almost more people than flowers in this botanical garden.

One Word Sunday: Spring
The promise
I had a stroll through the vineyards around here yesterday, and no green yet sprouting there. But the cherry and apple trees are busy putting out buds, even old and gnarly ones.

They’re back!
While the grey herons don’t leave during winter and a couple great egrets have stayed after their flock rested here on their way south,
the storks are gone during winter.
But today, while cycling through the fields, I saw three of them.
The sun was already low and against me so I could only get a clear picture of one of them. A sure sign of approaching spring.
And to the right behind the storks there was one of the many hares out today.
They were everywhere in groups of three or four, hopping around, frolicking, play fighting. Spring can come now!

One magnolia, two magnolias, three magnolias, four.
Five magnolias, six magnolias, seven magnolias, more!
