Spring has come!

Pink Peach Flower
We're well into Spring now. In the back yard the peach and apricot flowers are blossoming, and the sun's daily path is approaching the zenith again. The familiar sound of bees buzzing can be heard whenever you step out the door, and butterflies are floating everywhere on the warm breeze. As Wordsworth says in his "Lines written in early Spring":

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
I hope you enjoy the pictures of Spring here, wherever you are in the world!

Pumpkin Flower - Wordless Wednesday

Yellow Pumpkin Flower with Radiating Spines
Wordless Wednesday
Yellow Pumpkin vine flower. This photo is from Spring, now quite a while ago in Australia. This Pumpkin Vine Flower was still opening, but the pumpkin itself had already started to grow. Notice the radiating spines sprouting just above the fruit - they make a nice decoration with the flower, almost like a medieval collar.
