Yesterday morning, I took my camera out with me on the daily walk with the dog. It was really too dark to get the best results using the camera I have, but I did get a few salvageable shots. As I've said, there are flowers and blossoms everywhere right now, despite the morning frosts and freezes we're experiencing right now. Here's a slideshow that lasts just over one minute.
On our outdoor thermometer, the reading now is just slightly lower than it was 24 hours ago but not all the way down to 0ºC. The flowers in the slideshow above are primroses that come up spontaneously in our yard every spring, some plum and pear tree blossoms, purple flowers on our lilac bush, and yellow cowslips that grow wild all around the hamlet and vineyard.
Well this was glorious to look at! Thank you. love the lilacs.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. The photos turned out better than I though they had.
DeleteI've been looking forward to an "around the garden/vineyard" slideshow. The scent of the lilacs must be heavenly. Is the wisteria having a good year?
ReplyDeleteThe wisteria is just getting a good start. I hope the cold morning tomorrow doesn't hurt it. Our morning temperature tomorrow is supposed to be about 0, Monday 1, but Tuesday 8 or 9. That's a huge difference.
DeleteWhat a joy it is to be seeing spring flowers again. Lovely photos, Ken!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the show- your Spring flowers are beautiful. Our azaleas are past peak here. I have moved a lot of native wildflowers from my garden in Anniston and I love watching each one appear.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hope you warm up to tomato temperatures soon.
ReplyDeleteDaytime temperatures are supposed to be back up to nearly 20ºC, meaning about 70ºC, by the end of the coming week. Walt has tomato seedlings growing. I still have to do the garden tilling.
DeleteOh, those lilacs. Azaleas blooming here, and there's a flowering cherry tree at the end of the street. After last night's heavy rain, the ground around it today was solid pink with petals.
ReplyDeleteWe have an ornamental prunus tree that does that. It's had just started flowering a few days ago when temperatures drop. I hope the cold has only slowed it down, not damaged it.
