Spring has sprung although the calendar does not as yet
say so
the sun rises just after seven, the soil is drying out
the garden needs watering
and the almond blossoms are in full splendour
the blossoms are not as plentiful as usual as we had
a small flowering in autumn and the parrots
have nipped off a lot of buds in the winter
they look so pretty against the sky
their pink reverses show up well against the grass
and aren't they little beauties up close
and personal?

Beautiful blossoms! We're getting hints of fall in the air here, and sunrise is not until 6:00 am. I enjoy watching your spring unfold as we head rapidly towards winter.
ReplyDeleteLovely flower shots

ReplyDeleteQuite lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blossoms -- I had no idea how lovely they are. Spring is on the way for you and hooray for that.
ReplyDeleteParrots do have a liking for buds!
ReplyDeleteThe Cutty Sark is now in dry dock as I think it was in danger of falling apart due to rot - not that long ago it was given a major overhaul and now you can sit underneath it and drink tea!
