Golden daffodils with orange trumpets
unfold their sunshine petals
for all to see
Wild anemone raise their heads above last year's fallen leaves
Primroses, tender violets and a single daisy
draw our attention to the shady spots
and fluffy blossom trees line the streets
Down by the lake,
the early magnolia bloom
framed by nurturing branches and a perfect clear March sky
Closer to home,
Easter is being celebrated
with traditional hot cross buns
and the yellow duckling guards the baskets of tiny truffle filled eggs...
but not for too long, methinks!
Those little wild anemones and violets are wonderful, oh to be able to photograph those little gems. Such beauty is Spring but then every season is a new blessing. Happy Easter Sandra
ReplyDeleteAren't spring flowers the best? I have a soft spot for wild anemones and violets too. I think it's there their wonderful tones of pale purple and mauve! Thank you for your Easter wishes!
DeleteHere's wishing you a joy filled Easter!
ReplyDeleteLovely post :)
Connie
Thank you, Connie. Wishing you a beautiful Easter too!
DeleteSuch pretty spring flowers!! Hope you have a lovely Easter!!
ReplyDeleteKate :}
Thanks, Kate. The sun finally came out here at the end of the day and lit up the spring flowers so nicely!
DeleteHappy Easter, Sandra! Thank you for your visit the other day. I finally got around to reply. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I've not seen anemone before and just how gorgeous are they! I LOVE the colour. Are those in your garden perhaps or maybe on some country lane? Lovely photos. DAffodils are jsut so bright and happy too-- my fave flower.
I had a huge smile in my heart when I saw those hot cross buns. I see that that tradition remains with you in Switzerland. It's been decades since Ive had those.
I'll stop by again, later. Here's wishing you a lovely day.
Michael, Swiss people don't know hot cross buns, but I'm English so I've brought my childhood traditions with me here! I agree that those wild anemone, seen here in town, are very charming! Thank you for your visit and your wishes.
DeleteIt looks like you are enjoying a beautiful beginning to spring, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteThose anemones are so special.
Well, Lisa, spring is being a little moody and blowing hot and cold, but I'm out when the sun graces us with its presence and enjoy all the flowers and birdsong!
DeleteLove all the yellows and blues (almost periwinkle) in this post, right down to the tiny embroidered chick in that last photo. All so pleasant to look at.
ReplyDeleteYellow and blue seems to spell the spring season, doesn't it? I hope you are getting your share of spring flowers, Barbara!
DeleteLovely colors of Spring. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. I hope your Easter was filled with flowers and sunshine!
DeleteSuch glorious colors of spring! I love the hot cross buns!
ReplyDeleteWe've all been waiting for all these spring flowers, haven't we, Sarah! I agree that traditional hot cross buns for breakfast is delicious!
DeleteSuch wonderful spring sights, I especially love the magnolias. Hope you had a delightful Easter, Sandra....those sweet little eggs must be very tempting.
ReplyDeleteWell Gina, it seems to me that the magnolia is rather earlier than usual. These were seen down by the lake and they were not yet all in full bloom, still lots of buds. Luckily, I am not the only one eating these little eggs. They are so darned 'moreish'!
DeleteHappy Easter! Thank you for sharing your beautiful images.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sophia! Hope you had a peaceful Easter period also.
DeleteOh, those wild anemones....
ReplyDeleteWinter is tussling with Spring here in Wisconsin. At the moment Winter's on top, but I know Spring will eventually win the match. Then we'll have flowers too. :)
Happy Easter, Sandra!
The seasons are playing tricks with each other. Each day we never know which one will win! Thank you for your wishes, Sue.
DeleteAnother lovely post just bursting with Spring and Easter. Delicious in all respects.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sarn xxx
What a beautiful post! I love the little baskets, which I'm sure by now are quite empty! Spring is looking especially wonderful in Switzerland! We've pasted the early bushes and bulbs that bloom and are now preparing for the azaleas to pop open with color! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathy. I do love this time of the year when everything explodes in such lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see what's blooming where you are. We are not quite there yet!
ReplyDeleteKim, I think that winter and spring are still deciding about who's turn it is!
DeleteOh, what a lovely explosion of petals and colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting, Roberta.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, lovely too see that spring is coming. Your spring is ahead of mine I can see :-))
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you, Lasse! You're welcome to enjoy our spring here! Sending you some sweet smelling flowers and fluffy pink blossom!
ReplyDeletesuch lovely photos of spring flowers Sandra.
ReplyDeletethey seem like joy and beauty to me.
Thank you, Tammie. Spring sings a song of joy to be sure!
DeleteI missed this post! What wonderful spring flowers! And the little crocheted items are so cute! I can tell you are enjoying spring in your part of the world!
ReplyDeleteYes, Mary, we're enjoying spring to the full here, in-between the April showers which are quenching the thirst of all these flowers!
DeleteI seem to have missed this post, Sandra. Isn't it amazing how such delicate beauties bloom on the fringe of winter? The photos of the tiny blooms amid the leaves are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell Barb, despite winter being reluctant to leave, spring has been bursting out all over and bringing us such colourful joy in an explosion of flowers!
