Sunshine!!! Just an hour walk in the fields and woods and I find treasury hidden in the grass and in the trees :)
Primroses (Primula vulgaris) are just beginning to blossom along a little stream nearby and there is also plenty of warm yellow flowers of Lesser celandines (Ranunculus ficaria) so the place will be like sprinkled with gold soon! I was so happy to also spot a few of Anemone sylvestris (wood anemone or snowdrop windflower) -they are common in the woodlands of Central and Western Europe but I didn't know they can also grow here! In Poland the anemones cover the woods with white carpets at spring time, it's so lovely to walk amongst them :)
In the gardens I can already see the daffodils flower and little sky blue squills (Scilla siberica) when spring snowflakes (Leucojum vernum) and snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are already slowly fading...
It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOoohh.... lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteyep, finally it's getting greener if not really warmer :P
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so beautiful, they make me long to come home to lovely Scotland! I have Ukrainian/Scottish friends who have just moved to Skye so maybe I should go and visit them and take in some Highland beauty! Love your pics of Strathpeffer too; I've never been but it looks lovely.
