Alabaster pompoms brush against brilliant blue sky — honeybee cherry tree cheerleaders buzz bloom to bloom — as one sweet team.
Cherry cheerleaders
A stunningly beautiful post about cherry blossoms (and wonderful bees) from the Ancient Eavesdropper. Please click the link above to visit his site, there are many lovely photos.
The greens might not quite be here yet …
… but the blues definitely are!
The visual ones, that is. Have a very good day.
Usually I post flowers on Fridays, but I’m a bit out of practise after the winter. So here are my recent findings, even if it is a Saturday. Cheers.
A lovely mix of springy goodness in a flower bed …
… and a group of narcissci that were growing wild next to a trail among some grape vines.
Happy weekend.
There was no wind, which gave us a mirror-like, beautiful flat calm …
… while the soft, warming air gently dozed in the sun.
The azealas were invited to open their pretty blooms …
… and the hungry, busy robins began getting ready for some young ones.
Leaves were unfurling …
… and puffy clouds relaxing.
Isn’t spring grand?
Happy Friday.
I watched from my eastern-facing deck as the setting sun illuminated the overcast sky.
At first the effect was quite subtle but over the next few seconds …
… it became much more pronounced and fiery.
As the sun continued to disappear below the horizon, the intensity of the orange-hued clouds gave way to the overcast and impending darkness.
Happy Thursday.
If you wait to try to catch a particular spring moment you might find yourself missing it.
Spring moves fast! There are early spring flowers popping up everywhere …
… while others, like this azeala bud, won’t be far behind. But they’re here and then gone again so quickly!
The willow trees are moving along also and displaying those lovely pea green baby leaves that only last a few days …
… while the wild desert buttercups grace us with their presence for less than a week.
Happy Wednesday.
We’re beginning to come into all the beautiful spring colours, starting with bright yellow!
Pretty, frilly forsythia blossoms have started opening in lovely yellow profusion …
… while the daffodils nod their spring approval in the breezes.
I can’t wait to see more of the colours that are headed our way.
Happy Tuesday.
One word Sunday Bernie
As if…Green
A stunningly beautiful capture of the Aurora from Bernie at 3six5Snap2. Please click the link above to see more of Bernie’s photography.
I wandered lonely as a cloud …
… that floats on high o’er vales and hills …
… when all at once I saw a crowd …
… a host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze …
~ William Wordsworth
Happy daffodil Sunday.
Skaha Lake which is on the south end of the city …
… and Okanagan Lake which is on the north end of the city …
… are both beginning to show that springy face.
Happy Saturday.
