Thick buds
Just because it looked nice
Barberries - they survived the winter, perhaps birds don´t like barberries???

Bea, wonderful different pics from today!
My favourite picture is your last one: "doggie had chased neighbours cat" Really a snapshot!

Here are some pictures I have taken today in our garden:
I want to say "good-bye" to the winter, but the "Helleborus niger" = "christmas rose" is still in flower - beautiful!

Under our birch the "Hypericum perforatum" = "St John's wort" begins to show blossoms...

The "Japanese camellia" = "Camellia japonica" in our garden.

The blossoms are showing several stages of development.

Wow - Riitta, thanks for your beautiful pics
The blossoms of the Camellia look even summer-like!
The colored Hellebore is lovely. I have a white one, but unfortunately it is always a bit shabby Perhaps she needs another place in the garden to grow better
We have a clear sky tonight and I was just out to catch the moon

Bea, the pic of the moon is something special.
I have the feeling, the moon is nearby.

Today I have visited a girlfriend and could take the pictures of the "Snowdrops" = "Galanthus" in her garden.
The view in connection with pretty sunshine was really comfortable...

Thanks to you all,fab. photos and yes,spring is here too. Like Bavaria.. warmest winter months since 1900.
Our neighbour has one tree almost in full bloom....yellow (cannot remember the name.
The rose bushes were so advanced hubby had to prune them. There's snowdrops,crocus,hyacinth,little blue flowers,yellow ground-covering & etc;
As for the birds,they are singing their hearts out.
Welcome spring but NO LATE FROST OR SNOW thank you !!
But so far no bees here yet although we had 18° today.

Close to the shore of the Danube, a Common Brimstone on a Scilla. He had his fun taking off again every time I had finally caught him
