Spring


 A short while after White Easter, spring decided to come to Germany.


 The snow hadn't hindered the tulips to grow and thrive.


 Some of the tulips glowed in fiery red and yellow.


 Some other beauties.


 Such great colors!


 I love that pink.


The fresh green is such a welcome sight.


Happy Spring!

Blue Skies


Most of April has been somewhat gray, but today the sun was shining.


I took these photos this afternoon while driving home.


I actually just shot a few photos without looking at the camera screen.


I just pointed the camera slight upward to get a few snapshots of the dramatic clouds.


Birds were flying from one tree to the next.


That's spring at its best -- a promise of warmer days!

White Easter


This morning I woke up to an Easter wonderland full of snow. On Christmas this would have been magical. Come to think of it, I even find it magical on Easter. Just have a look at the forsythia covered in fluffy snow.


An almond tree blossom with its white cap.


Pretty tulips.


The snow was almost too heavy for the delicate hyacinth.


Pink tulips.


Easter eggs which I had dyed myself.


Chocolate treats.


A cute bunny.


Chicks.


One of my traditional Easter ornaments -- a wooden bunny.


Another cute bunny.


I wish you a wonderful Easter
and a great spring with no snow!
