Flowers

We both love our small garden. In spring, it's always a joy to see what made it through the winter, it's just like saying hello again to old friends you haven't seen for a while.

I took these pictures at the week-end.

This photo of the white camellia is probably my favourite in the set



while Adrian loves this one of the forget-me-nots

It looks like SERIOUS spring. :) So much beauty!

What's your camera, Franco? (Or have I already asked you and forgotten about it?)

It seems that the garden is growing every day!

It's a (now old) Pentax SLR *iST-DL2, one of the cheapest digital SLRs.

EDIT: I forgot to say that I used a screw-on magnifying filter to get those forget-me-nots so big.

Just beautiful Franco...it's such a lovely time of year in Europe. Do you have a big garden?

Thank you, Al.

We have small front and back gardens, and tiny side garden, but plenty of plants!

These are beautiful pictures as usual

I have a few flowering plants for decoration, but mostly grow citrus, strawberries and spices for cooking. Not very exciting as far as blooms go. But I do get some nice fragrance from the citrus while lounging on the terraza.

Thank you, Chuck.

It's great idea to grow herbs and some fruit.
