Spring ~ The Little Joys

A small flowering almond in it's second year

covered in blossom

The seasons are awry. This flowering cherry, for

the first time in 40 years, failed me on my birthday

Wisteria by our bedroom door greets me in the morning

The joy of lilac time beginning

A flush of pink this tree bedecks

whilst bluebells cluster roud it's feet

Malus floribunds, a haven for bees and Blue Wrens

and blazing pink ranunculas.

  1. I love the bright colors. Looking at your photos makes me wish we were entering spring here but we have the long cold winter to look forward to.

  4. Oh my goodness these photos are beautiful. I'm in America where fall is beginning and the cool nights are a balm to my hot flashes. :) The leaves are just beginning to change where I am and it's just a joy to watch them as God paints their tips. blessings, marlene

  5. The colour in these photos is just stunning, particularly when we are just approaching winter and the flowers are all fading.

  6. Your flowers are coming up and showing off their colors nicely. I guess your are in the beginnings of spring there. We are in the fall season here and the dreaded winter with snow and ice must follow.

  7. Good morning Arija….! I love your flowering almond trees! We have two flowering almond trees in our house, different specimens I guess, since they grow different color flowers; but just as beautiful.... and by the way, I finally had time to thank you publicly for honoring me with your blog award.... Thanks again.

    Have a great day!

  8. Beautiful pictures, I love spring-time. We are going into fall here with the orange and red leaves and cold weather and rain. It's wonderful to know it is still spring somewhere in the world! My favorite season.
    Blessings,

  13. Arija, it's so good to be back again and have my spirits lifted by your lovely blog and super photos. Here our trees have almost lost their leaves and the damp air and early evening darkness let us know that Autumn is truly here.
