Macro Monday – Waiting for Spring!

Spring is on its way – my morning walk in the garden reveals how far we have come…

…and, there are still some weeks of waiting!

Macro Monday – Spring Colours

The sun is shining in, and the colours are returning to my home. In the header a Tradescantia, or Wandering Jew, and here a Hatiora Salicornioides (Both from Brazil). The English name is said to be bottle plant, drunkard’s dream!

 

Macro Monday – From Soil to Ice

My son found this little one when walking the path up to my door. Surely he is a bit too early on his way – the snail? February only.

He was so tiny, only about 3 millimeters, and still venturing out in this big world…on icy paths with an unwashed house. He ”looked” at me…

but, when I came too close with the camera, he silently steered away.

My son decided to pick him up and hide him under the garden bushes – out of sight from hungry little birds. Maybe we will meet again, on our way towards summer?

Macro Monday

The winter is still a feast in my garden – some mornings offer a shimmering, microcosmic world of crystals. Nature’s wonders are always the best wonders.

Another frosty morning with crisp air, flower pods, maple and oak leaves. It is snowing today, so maybe next time – even more of whiteness.
