How odd, wonder why they disappearedPussy Willows around these parts. Funny, I recall cutting them and making small bouquets as a child. I haven’t seen them in years.
I googled it and found one article from someone else wondering what happened. Apparently we are the only ones who noticed. But now I’ll see about planting some.How odd, wonder why they disappeared
That’s an amazing sight (for an Australian, anyway) . I’m constantly bemused at the beautiful and to my mind fragile flora that survive snow and ice.Day 97 - April 6th - Freedom fighters
Grey and wet and boring. Been out walking for three hpours just to show the weather gods they can’t stop me. Now I feel deep frozen. Not many photos taken today
These crocuses are getting ready for the sunshine that we’re promised for tomorrow. I’ll believe it when I see it.

I got lucky enough to believe it. Morning walk for three hours in pouring rain. But later in the afternoon, it was just like a miracle when the sun showed upThat’s just how the feeling is around here. We’ll believe it when we see it.
Cool!Day 98 - April 7th - Natural abstract
Turned my back to the sunset and took this. Perhaps it’s just that I’m in a state of positive shock because of the sudden outburst of sunshine, but I think the photo is so cool. It includes details from our living room and also from the kitchen. And it shows a glimps of the view outside the kitchen window. And of course the reflection of the sunset and the barn. Just to make it perfect, my cigarette isn’t reflected
Straightened and added a bit of vibrance in LR

Oh, this should have been in my Playground thread - but I’ll leave it here. Since the 365 isn’t an ”official category” anymore there’s room for a little sloppinessThe mobile cam sees better than me
I can only see a few stars in tonight's sky. This is what my iPhone sees

Strange, we had an off season thunder Storm last night here.Day 101 - April 10th - Springtime Star / Vårstjärna / Glory-of-the-snow
A terrible day here. Started with totally unexpected thunder and lightning at 5am. We normally only have thunderstorms in the summer. But nothing’s normal anymore. Then there was kind of thunder and lightning in my inbox too. Lost my temper totally and have spent most part of the day walking - both indoors and outdoors.

Grass month isa good name. Two weeks ago we were using the snow shovels. Today Mike mowed the lawn.Day 106 - April 15th - Green
April was called the Grass Month in older days here. It’s not difficult to understand why From brownish-greyish to super green in just two weeks. I admit to having added a bit of HDR here. This is what my Dad used to call Agfa green
I took a few similar photos. Chose this because I kind of like the weird perspective
