Spring was literally in the air yesterday: hundreds of cranes flew over my house, a total of 4 large groups. I'd never seen them before, but I knew their unmistakeable sound from radio & tv. It was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes! Unfortunately silly me forgot to take pictures, only thought of that afterwards To compensate, here are some "springy" photo's I took in my garden.

Isn't it good to see the spring flowers starting to appear again? I love your second photograph best of all. :-D
Thanks everyone! Yes, Sjoerd, today, whilst working in the front garden, there were a few bees busily buzzing on the crocuses. Amazing little creatures, aren't they, they pollinate our plants & give us lovely honey!
Cute, cute... spring is here too but this weekend it's gonna rain and next week freezing temps are supposed to be back. Is this a European trend?
I keep coming back to look at those blueish crocuses of yours...just breathtaking. This is a signal to myself that perhaps I should keep my eyes open next year for a bag of these gems.
Sjoerd, indoors I can only see those crocuses from my hallway window, so that's where I find myself going a lot these days, just to look at them . No idea what type of crocus they are, they were planted by one of the previous tenants. Lucky me! Calin: yes,unfortunately those freezing weather-conditions are forecast for quite a number of European countries, The Netherlands included. Didn't stop me from potting up some newly bought thyme, heleniums & geums today,though. If things get too cold, I can always (read: mustn't forget to ) take them indoors. Oh yes, nearly forgot: saw the first bumblebee of this year today :-D
