Week 51: Daisy

Week 50: Magnolia

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

This one was taken in Ness Gardens last week Friday.

Week 49: Cherry blossom

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Four days late, I think I broke my own record there :-) My excuse: I was travelling, and taking lots of photos!
I’ll be posting more over the next couple of days, but this is my entry for last week, taken last Friday not very long before sunset.

Week 48: More blossom

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

Yesterday we had a very warm day here, 20-24 degrees Celcius. Today’s a regular 14 again, to remind us that it’s actually still spring, and not summer. So… here’s another blossom of which I haven’t the faintest clue what tree it’s on.

Actually, it’s not even really on a tree.
Here’s a photo of how it looks in its surroundings. (it’s the white stuff on the right):

Week 47: Coltsfoot

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

I took these during a short picnic break on our cycle trip this Sunday. The weather was gorgeous, we’re hoping it will be just as good when we go for the ‘real’ thing: cycling to our camping destination this summer.

Week 46: Blossom buds

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

I think it’s still early really, but some of the trees in my neighbourhood have already started blossoming. I’m not good at determining the name of the tree they’re on though, so I can’t tell whether they are cherry, apple, pear, or maybe even something completely different.

Most of the trees still look like this:

I know from last year though, that their flowers will be the white/light pink type with lots of petals per flower.

One that I didn’t photograph today (but did two years ago) is in near full bloom already, and then there’s one that’s got a lot of buds still, but also some flowers already:

If anyone can tell me which is which, I’d be grateful :-)

Week 45: Snowdrop

Week 40: Round two

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

I’m really bad with house plants. I forget to give them water regularly, and even at the end of the season, I forget to clean out the pot. Sometimes that’s a good thing. Apparently.
These hyacinth bulbs from last spring started coming up again all by themselves, after a whole autum/winter season of being forgotten in the window sill :-)
