Garden pearls


Snowdrops come peeping through


The luscious leaves of Arum italium (italiaanse aronskelk/italian lords and ladies)


Trio on Mahonia aquifolium


Helleborus niger

Milder temperatures lured me outside today.
Beneath the warm safety of the rotting leaves a new world is slowly wakening.
It felt good ; fresh air, shades of green, patterns and forms...busy ladybirds.
Working in the garden doesn't really feels like 'working' , it is something else.

  6. I know to putter in your garden is a particular good beginning for spring. For me, to touch the earth and dabble in planting and pruning, stirs all my creative juices. The elementals move me!

    Thanks for sharing the lovely photos and thoughts!

    Blessings!
