"This is my favourite time of year when the cherry blossoms are blooming for a few weeks and I absolutely love this tree in our garden. The picture was taken on the first day the pink petals started to fall so I thought I'd better get the camera out quick because the tree looks pretty average for the rest of the year. There are woodpigeon nesting this year too but they picked a grand hidden spot in the middle of the tree and are a little camera shy. The small man is my nephew who wouldn't leave the area because he was busy fighting a bumble bee."
"On the way to Waterford last week the weather was miserable one minute & glorious the next so when the sun showed it's face for a quick visit I took these pictures at Lough Aderra. There were a few boats on the water & each had its own posse of swans. I used to go fishing a lot when I was younger & never remember a swan fan club following me which is a pity but they looked beautiful gliding through the water leaving a trail of sunshine behind them."
Absolutely gorgeous! Cherry blossom is my favourite, and this is my favourite time of year also:)Thanks, Letizia.
ReplyDeleteif ireland was only like this all year round, what a beautiful country we live in, your nephew looks as if he's full of mischief, how cute is he
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs - I love the shape of the tree in the first picture, rushing upwards to get to the sunlight. Your nephew is a charmer, by the way :)
ReplyDeleteThat tree looks like a bouquet of flowers! The street where I grew up was lined with cherry blossoms alternated with apple blossom so when the petals fell, the path was pink and white. Gorgeous.
