Spring is here with its soft pastel tones
Early pink blossom
and sparkling water on the lake.
Crocus open in the warmth of the sun
and tiny anemone grow in the moss under the trees.
My favourite poem about daffodils
Growing in the city park
and those I bring home with me to put in a vase.
Now come the tulips
growing in the gardens
Some have crinkly petals
that go so well with one of my vases
Their petals are a work of art.
The warm sunny days call us down to the lake
This was taken in Morges and it's rather hazy,
but the Mont Blanc Mountain can still just be seen on the left of the picture.
The Magnolia were just coming into bloom
Revealing their beautiful centres and sunlit, soft petals
Another day and in a place called Cully along the Lake Léman
Here is the charming port.
Tiny Aubrieta flowers were growing in very small slits and cracks in the walls.
How they find enough nourishment always amazes me.
They come in the most beautiful shades of pink, purple and violet.
I couldn't resist making a collage of these little beauties!
These lovely orange tulips had started to drop all their petals
and when I put this flower down the patterned shadows from my kitchen curtains
made them look beautiful again.
Accidental art!
It isn't spring without Forsythia!
I love this little gate entrance which I often pass when I go shopping!
Do you remember when I showed it to you in January covered in snow!
Have a little peep here:
I hope that you are enjoying the joys and the beauty of spring.
