What a year for blossom trees!
Great clusters of pinkness!
That almost take your breath away
So delicate and yet so profuse
The darker pinks are a little more restrained
But happy to flirt with their showier neighbours!
I never tire of looking up
There are still a few delicate, restful whites around
And even a flash of black with the white!
Aren’t the little black ones simply gorgeous?
Just one more splash of colour!
I’ve gone a little blossom crazy because next week I go to Poland, and I know that when I come back they’ll mostly have vanished. Isn’t this the most beautiful time of year?
I won’t be posting 6WS next week, and I have just one more Monday walk to take before I’m gone. You can catch me there if you like, or even join in, if you have a walk you’d like to share.
Meantime, have a happy and colourful weekend, and don’t forget to visit Cate at Show My Face to post your Six word Saturday.
Gorgeous blossoms, Jo. Another trip? How very exciting. 🙂
A wedding next Thursday, Ad, then a trip to the mountains. Just starting to get excited. I’d better pack! 🙂
This year does seem extra pretty with the flowering trees – beautiful pictures Jo! Have a wonderful trip… 🙂
Thank you, Meg 🙂 I should be packing but we’ve just had lunch and I’m just getting up a head of steam!
Inspite of how we view how Spring is was or going … there is ALWAYS something out there to as you say gladden the heart Jo ! Gorgeous fluffy blossoms in pictures .
These really are such sweet pinkness and delight .. and I’m not REALLY a pinky loving sort of person Lol … put it down to being called gingernut when I was much younger 😉 oh even just writing that has me back in the playground ..
You must be packing now … good luck … bet you don’t have to sit on your case to *close it nowadays far too well travelled 🙂
Enjoy a wonderful time in Poland xx
That golden red that’s fashionable now was no fun as a young un, Poppy, I guess 🙂
Actually this is the first time in ages that we’ve needed a proper suitcase. Normally we’re hand luggage experts, but with wedding togs and clothes for possibly chilly mountains afterwards, a case it is. You’re right- I should go and do it! Many thanks 🙂
Such beautiful blossoms, I love the pink fluffy ones that look like Martha Stewart pom poms made of tissue paper. You got to see little lambs, they are very cute and everything is so green, what a wonderful time of year. Enjoy your trip to Poland, I look forward to reading all about it. Travel safe Jo and have fun xo
Hiya Sam! I’m so glad you popped up on here 🙂 I meant to visit yours and I haven’t yet made it, but I will now! I’m just writing my Monday walk before I go. Thank you so much. Take care! 🙂
Wow! Love the lambs!
Sweet, aren’t they? There are loads of them this year, Carol 🙂
Oh, how gorgeous! Thank you.
You’re very welcome. Rosemary. They don’t last long but they’re lovely. 🙂
Wow = it sure is a brilliant spring for blossoms – and lambs … My friend in Switzerland sent pix of blossoms on steroids – seems it might be one of those years. I wonder what marvels you’ll come across in Poland this spring? Have a great trip. 🙂
Migdalowa! But with the Polish ‘l’ which I can’t be bothered to chase the keyboard for, Meredith. Sounds like a ‘w’ 🙂 That’s the name for almond blossom. My cousin Jadzia has some lovely ones in her garden but I won’t be going there this year. Thanks! I’m getting butterflies thinking about it.
Wow! These are wonderful, Jo! You’re right, they’ll be gone when you return…enjoy. Can’t wait to see your photos from the trip! Be safe!
Thanks, Jill 🙂 There are loads of blossoms on the blogs right now, and I love them all. 🙂
I am so jealous – yours are almost done and ours haven’t even started.
Ahhh- then you still have them to look forward to 🙂 And they’ll be beautiful, Judy. Enjoy!
It is so beautiful with the blossoms and the sheep. I love both.
Spring in the air, Ann- and it always makes me want to 🙂
These are fantastic, Jo. I just kept saying ‘wow’ at every picture! 😀
I’ve been permanently walking around with my eyes in the trees, Dianne. It’s a wonder I don’t have a big bruise on my chin 🙂
Speaking of which – when I was at the creek yesterday with the dogs I went to pick up their ball and poked my eye with a small sharp branch sticking out from a tree (that I didn’t see). I MUST wear my glasses next time 😦
Ouch! So easily done 😦 You take care!
Beautiful! I enjoyed all of the blossoms! Happy Saturday…and have a nice trip!
Thanks, Linda 🙂 You and the family take good care.
Gorgeous Jo. I love blossom, though with the wind today I doubt there’ll be much left soon! I have just been enjoying the camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias in Cornwall. Didn’t see too much blossom though. Enjoy Poland, I look forward to your posts on return 🙂
Jude xx
My little rhodies in our back garden are pretty happy, Jude. It absolutely poured last night and there’s a fair amount of blossom on the paths but still quite a lot in the trees.
No luck in Cornwall? I caught your comment somewhere else.
A couple of possibilities, but still not getting the right house in the right location. Maybe I just want too much, but I don’t want to keep moving so need to get this right.
Wow…so prolific and beautiful Jo…and your 6 words were perfect
Thanks, Jo 🙂 I thought they were lovely till I saw Cathy’s! That girl will keep outdoing me. That’s the last time I invite her to Portugal 🙂 🙂 You’d better come instead.
Oh yes please.
😉
Jo I hope you are having a wonderful time in Poland. the blossom shots are extraordinary and of course i love the wee lambs.
I haven’t gone yet! 🙂 I leave on Tuesday, Sue, so I have another Monday walk to fit in before I go 🙂
Sorry Jo between your travels and mine I apparently am having a hard time keeping track of where folks are. At least i know where I am. 🙂
I consider that an achievement, Sue. Not much point in knowing where I am and being lost yourself 🙂 But in case you did want to know, I’ve started in on the cheese and wine. The hell with the packing 🙂 Cheers!
Imagine what might end up in the suitcase! Could be a blog post next week. 🙂 Have a good trip!
Absolutely beautiful Jo! Such lovely pinks and stunning captures. I do love those little lambs. I don’t see Mary anywhere. 😆
The mother sheep were somewhat harassed, Sonel! The little fellas were leaping all over the place and demanding constant food. Typical youngsters 🙂
Awwwww, how adorable. Bet they tired her out completely. They can be quite a handful when they’re so little. Just like youngsters yes. LOL!
Reblogged this on Locating Frankenstein's Brain.
All of your photo’s are lovely and those sheep are adorable! Wishing you safe travels next week!
Thanks, Tonya 🙂 It will definitely be interesting in Poland. I’m still at the ‘dithery’ stage!
Beautiful! I never want to travel in the spring either because I don’t want to miss a day of the blooming trees. 🙂
It’s such a short time, isn’t it, Lisa, but so beautiful! 🙂
Thank you! Thank you! for a Florida resident, blossoms like these we just don’t see. Love those lambs…spring time personified.
Glad you like them, Lynne. Bougainvillea and crocodiles don’t come our way too often either. 🙂 On second thoughts, you can keep the crocs!
