The colours are returning, slowly…
A gush of bird-song, a patter of dew,
a cloud, and a rainbow’s warning,
Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue –
— An April day in the morning.
– Harriet Prescott Spofford
April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
So, with a young spirit’s illustration of William Wordworth’s lovely daffodils’ poem, I say Hello April from Sweden!
Thank you, Amy, for a lovely April morning!
Amanda of Something to Ponder About invites Spring – even if it is not that time of the year down under. It is here now in Scandinavia – it really is. Today we had 15 degrees C, and I think it is far too early for that. But we all know what is happening to planet Earth.
Anyway – Spring is my favorite time of the year, so let’s enjoy!
We set out in the early morning to enjoy the stillness and the bird song – I thought I might get some photos of the two boys together too…Totti hates the camera, but Milo tries to be
…complaisant. Not always succeeding, but, he helped checking out the bird houses …
…even if they were still empty, no guests arrived yet. A couple of weeks more is needed.
When spring arrives, they both need hair cuts often – but still get warm and thirsty.

Some advice from me – never turn your back on your motif…and never try to shoot without warning! Totti and Milo knocked me down and showed their best, wet and friendly approach…A very foggy lens emerged from this attack.
Here they are finally posing, after some hours of digging and running in muddy waters.
Well, which shot did you like best? My first favorite was the one of Milo alone – in the header. But after some hours…maybe the last one. After all, they are my sweeties!
Tuesday Photo Challenge – Rock
Who does not love the Moeraki boulders, NZ? For Dutch Goes the Photo this week.
This week Cee asks us for Roads: country, freeways, streets.
My variety of roads is not that big… But a winter road in Sweden and El Camino in Spain
The lovely streets of London
A Swedish country road, and an Irish Abbey Road.
I love them all!
The Larch trees are coming along nicely, and I love their fresh, tiny green sprouts.

European larch morphology features from book: Prof. Dr. Otto Wilhelm Thomé Flora von Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, 1885, Gera, Germany. Wikipedia.
