Spring Blooms



First Daffodil



Flowers of the Norway Maple



Branch of Flowers on the Norway Maple



Flowers and New Leaves on the Rowan Tree



Squills Hiding in the Pathway


Weeding and planting have taken over from writing and poetry. 
One creative activity is replacing the other. 
 Oh, to find a balance.

Photos are mine.

First Daffodil

My first daffodil popped this morning. 

I feel joy at seeing the bright yellow trumpet

with its collar of sun-coloured petals!

   I love daffodils.  They’re my favourite flowers,

    full of life, enthusiastic gold.



      And the spring squills are everywhere. 

Blue variations peek from the greening grass

in random patterns,

wherever I have planted them

and wherever the squirrels have moved them.

    It is the last day of April.  The flowers are coming…

      Release from the clutches of maritime winter!  At last…
