the almond blossoms awaken to give us hope of spring to come.

Winter disappearing and spring waking up is the best feeling in the world, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOmw, spring blossoms already and they're freezing back home in South Africa! I hope you're keeping well, Arija. Blessings, Jo
ReplyDeleteNice to see spring coming your way. I'm still seeing roses bloom in the forest amongst many other flowers. Guess fall isn't here yet.
ReplyDeleteoh, so sweet to see your world just awakening for spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of spring... It's wonderful to see different seasons as they happen all over this wonderful planet.
ReplyDeleteSpring is the most beautiful time of the year. Great picture from your side of the world.
ReplyDeleteHappy week!
It won't be long now, Arija! Before you know it, your gardens will be bursting with color again. It's such a great joy to spot the awakening of your babies, isn't it? I enjoyed your lovely photos. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
I'm quite surprised that your winters are sooo short!
ReplyDeleteBeautiuful photos, lovely springtime! Here the summer is soon over...
ReplyDeleteHi there - no spring flowers here yet - but I still get a surprise when I see bees on a sunny day in winter! We have a hive in a power pole down the road amd I often take the kids down there for a "bee up-date"!

ReplyDeletenot yet, jus a foretaste of what is to come.
ladyfi
thank you!
Sylvia,
I enjoy every season but it is so nice to see the sap rise and tell of things to come.
Pat,
winter is nowhere near disappearing yet, our coldest time comes in August.
Jo,
we too are cold here and will be colder yet but almonds always bloom in mid-July and our winter temps. are like European spring so spring bulbs and violets are giving colour, perfume and joy.
Gaelyn,
not yet sprig for a good month, the roses are just confused because the dry summer sent them into dormancy and the late autumn rains we had, woke them up before their time.
Missing moments.
yes, the best part of any season is watching the changes set in.
Andrew,
thank you for leaving such nice comments. This is just a foretaste of spring. Our winters are not so severe that we cannot have fresh flowers on the table all year round.
Spiderama,
thank you. I find flowers that foreshadow the over-abundance of spring, the sweetest of all.
Ken.
thank you for stopping by. My garden is already bursting with colour and wherever I go I take a bouquet of flowers. Things will get colder before spring bursts on the scene but but living in a climate where there are flowers all year round has it's advantages although I do mis white winters and a period of total dormancy in the winter where I can catch my breath.
EGWow.
Our winters are not short, just mild. The really cold part is yet to come.
fjallripan,
Our winter will last for another 6 weeks. I am sorry that the halcyon days of summer will soon be over for you. Although your winters are long and hard, the summers make up with beauty what they lack in length.
Stewart,
I am sure that violets are blooming on old gardens in Melbourne. During our recent cold spell, there was not a bee in sight but as soon as the sun came out, the place was buzzing. I was surprised to have enough ripe broad beans in the garden for a meal. There must have ben at least one busy bee there in a brake of the rain.
Great shots! If you like share this beautiful *blues* of the sky with us on *PicStory* this week. You are warmly envited! :) LG Tina

ReplyDeleteSo hard for us to think of spring!! Boom & Gary of the Vermil;on River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful glimpses of spring for you while I can`t wait for the autumn as it is so hot here right now. However the coming of spring wherever you are in the world is always a lovely thing!
ReplyDeleteFantastic blossoms.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to be having a touch of spring in the winter. Great shots of your beautiful world.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring shots. The days are getting shorter here, and I wouldn't be surprised to see snow in the next two months.
ReplyDeletewe are so cold here that I don't even dare to think of spring. How's winter over in Oz?

ReplyDeleteEarly Spring is my favorite time, when the world around us awakens from the drearys of winter. We are already stacking up firewood. I don't look forward to this season any more.
