Macro Monday

Walking in my garden is such a joy right now – enough warmth and just enough rain has made it into a dream compared to last summer. I am very grateful, and so are the insects, the birds and the hedgehogs…

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!

All my favorite colours I find in my garden – in the header. And here is my favorite flower.

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.

Macro Monday – Morning Glory

I opened my eyes this morning, to the finest jewellery –

– a crystal brooch, and hidden light and glory

… in the frosty autumn leaves

My garden is a joy even in winter.

The common spindle leaves tiny capsules for the frost to bite

Macro Monday – Frosty Colours

When frost is a visitor in my garden, winter is close

Even if it only lasts for a day or two – we wait for the sun to colour our frozen world!

I wait patiently –

– and finally the cold rays transforms the crystals into diamonds.

It is a wonder each time, each year…

…to see them come alive again!
