Celebrating and creating habitat for another important but small wonder :-). You may have noticed a bee or two in recent spring flowers photos…perhaps this is where they hung out during the winter!
I think I’m going to have some fun, now, alternating photos of a frozen winter landscape with the newly-opening spring blooms and buds – haven’t lived in a place where spring is so dramatically different for quite some time :-).
Look closely and you’ll see a bit of ice on this frozen rose, from a dawn walk in the Vondelpark Rose garden at the end of December. I’d been saving these up to post during the greyest moments of February, then when I flew back from two weeks in Nigeria recently, I noticed all the daffodils and narcissus have started blooming. So we’ll have more flower photos popping up soon!
