Therefore I'm publicising a collection of photos from the spring time in this post.
End of April. There is spring in the air but the sea ice has not yet broken.
As of yet the warmth from the sun is best enjoyed inside in a nice sunspot
Outdoors is still a bit chilly but in the sun and sheltered from wind the chill is not so apparent
Beginning of May. The ice has broken and snow melted away but as of yet the green things are dormant, but only for a few days
Yet splashes of colour are provided by these cute little fungii ...
and the first little spring flowers
On closer inspection the little 'mouse ears' on the tree branches are already there
Birds everywhere have a very busy time
Our 'city' fox is not so handsome when the thick winter coat starts to fall off
Within a week the picture is already quite different
The pond lily leaves have just surfaced but not yet aquired there summer green colour
Fish are playing in the shallows and seeking for places to lay their spawn ...
and gulls keep a close eye on the menu of fish
The farmers fields are plowed and ready to start bringing up a new crop
The days are long and light. The upper photo was taken half past three in the morning.
The wonderfully scented Lily of the Valley litter the woodland floor
The garden looks so delicious that one could eat it
Oh the joy of the glorious spring flowers
Like sunshine on the ground
God's own creation looks no worse
It is just as wonderful to view and fill the lungs with the freshness of it all
Everywhere it's bristling with life
Pretty little things come and join our garden habitat with us
Warm spring evenings invite to sit down by the water and enjoy the late sunsets
The dogs enjoy soaking up the sun during the warmest part of the day ...
after which it is nice to cool down by splashing about in the water
Then there's the time for some other activities. Each to their own.
Oh you tender spring time, you have gone for this year but I still remember the injection of vitality that you inserted in me
