TODAY'S FLOWERS, I Heart Macro, Nature Notes & OUR WORLD - Surprises

The only patch of blue from my prison window last week

and even for that, I had to get out of bed

and squeeze myself sideways against the window

and point my iPhone at an odd angle 

to catch it.

An unexpected three days in a couple of hospitals for tests

kept me grounded for a bit

but here I am again

it was almost worth being away to come home to 

full-blown Spring when we were still in official Winter

suddenly all fruiting trees had put on their finery

Prunus, above

Bridal Veil swaying in the breeze

my once perfectly kept garden

did me proud with a show of beauty among the weeds

Prunus and Almond hiding the paddock behind

Almond blossom, all are much bette enlarged

double flowering plum

and below, a dessert plum on the espalier

a joyful homecoming indeed!
