A blue wintry sky
Soft white clouds go scudding by
The tall fir tree sings
We love this tree, although it is getting very tall… (The crows love sitting at the top in the early morning and serenade me at breakfast!) You can see the hazel catkins below it, already fully out despite the snow. I have even seen some pollen flying. Winter meets spring…
How nice…still winter here…no break nor have I seen any critter activity that would signal the change…
The birds have intermittently been singing their spring songs the last two weeks. They’re getting impatient too!
Birds are still visiting their feed-house in our garden – especially in the morning hours after a frosty night. But their songs sometimes seem to be full of joy to welcome spring…
“Winterlinge” and snowdrops are longing for some sunshine to open their delicate blooms. Innumerable catkins of our copper-hazel are gently moving in the wind.
I´m sure spring is on the way….
Thank you Elisabeth – your words are encouraging.
Looks like a gorgeous tree with lots of character
Our tree is flattered by your compliment!
We do have some lovely trees -especially the firs and the birches.
I adore trees, especially big fir trees. They’re like old souls : )
What disappointment – more snow again during the night! Winter doesn´t want to leave us.
Poor birds, poor spring flowers covered with snow…
Yes, my poor snowdrops will never open…
So looking forward to winter meeting spring… and then saying goodbye!
Me too! Thanks for stopping by!
