Things are beginning to look brighter.

Things are beginning to look brighter.

Lots of creamy yellow-ness in the front garden today. Yes, Mum, the rose has finally sprung open.

The sun came out this afternoon, so we headed to the botanical gardens.

A single snowdrop …

If, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said,
the earth laughs in flowers
then this flower laughed so hard it cried.

Some see a weed … others see a wish.
Weighed down by the rain, it’s harder to take off.

I must have flowers, always, and always – Claude Monet
I’m with Claude …

There’s an explosion of pink outside my kitchen window.

Pretty pansies to brighten up a bleak Sunday afternoon.

A return to spring flowers today …
