The neighbour at the bottom of my garden has a wonderful cherry tree growing near my fence, and the blossoms which appear are beautiful and buzzing and alive with insects. Her husband, now departed, planted it as a cherry stone many, many years ago.

Red Tulips

The tulips growing near the grass verge in my front garden are blooming now. After returning home from work this evening I couldn’t resist getting a few shots in whilst the sun was out at play.

After April Showers

Only one day into April and we have had rain, sun, more rain, more sun, and it has been like this all day long. I managed to get this image of one of my Anemone blanda between April showers. Please click on image for larger, more detailed image.
