My fingers immediately start to walk.<br /><br />I've been rather spoiled lately. There were always flowers in bloom year-round in Tokyo and here in CA. Still, here and there, I see a few trees yawning and stretching, and it always makes me want to inhale and wake-up, too.<br /><br />CAKE! Gimme CAKE!Bella Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139728758198482234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-21097383039075668542010-03-27T18:50:19.196-04:002010-03-27T18:50:19.196-04:00We've been having such lovely weather here and...We've been having such lovely weather here and I thoroughly enjoy the breeze we've been getting for the past two days - so perfect! Your photos look great, Silke! Fresh figs were one of my most favorites till I watched a PBS program and now I'm still not over it... I now decided that the persimmon is my new favorite sweetness of nature ;-) I know, I'm so fickle! Enjoy your garden and the Spring before the heat and humidity will be overbearing (at least here) and the bugs will be seeking me out to make me miserable and hide inside for the summer.<br />Have a wonderful weekend, Silke.

I have a lot of plants in my garden that are from family, and friends. I haven't gone out in back to see how my dad's fig tree is doing, but last year we got quite a few figs. I wish I could get rid of this cold because I've got lots of veggies to plant. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden, Winslow, and Ramses. Everything looks great.Have a great weekend.GlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-26602109293095036592010-03-27T10:03:27.457-04:002010-03-27T10:03:27.457-04:00silke, you don't know me well enough yet to kn...silke, you don't know me well enough yet to know that my heart somersaults looking at these buds and beauties. this is my favorite time of year. i love the notion of new growth, a new start, breaking through the ground with surprising strength.<br /><br />i am remembering my time in your city a couple of years ago. i remember thinking that if i lost everything and had to start fresh, i would head for savannah. <br /><br />i wonder when you will hear the first wren chirps. :)kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-64204805512107928182010-03-27T10:03:17.728-04:002010-03-27T10:03:17.728-04:00Good grief, I sound like an inebriated woman typin...Good grief, I sound like an inebriated woman typing!Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-1871584493851871772010-03-27T10:02:22.179-04:002010-03-27T10:02:22.179-04:00Thank you Silke.

Tey don't even clean the corpses and the ? Hahahah!wastes. They just pester and attack. Have a lovely day too. I will soon get off my derrier and spine and start the day with laundry and a new canvas. How's that for artistic pursuit?

The little leaves with their immature structures are so beautiful. Have you ever looked at them very closely? I think you have, they are so delicate yet each design, so perfect. They are like little babies growing. I love using my macro lenses and just crawling on the ground to photograph ants, aphids, bugs trying to live with them. I love the new leaves. I love leaves more than flowers, actually. Leaves never get the credit. The do so much work. I compare myself to a leaf sometimes, especially in corporate structures.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day Silke.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-15846158973013982702010-03-27T09:10:11.147-04:002010-03-27T09:10:11.147-04:00I've loved seeing your Spring update photos be...I've loved seeing your Spring update photos because I know it's coming this way (I'm in IL).

I never knew that about oak trees - thanks for sharing that. And how perfect are those little wren eggs??? Sometimes birds build nests in our lilac bush that's directly outside our back door - I am hoping they do that again this year. Can't wait to find out about your cake. :) TheresaTheresa MacNaughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034781876024849974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666398736543001055.post-31330517565047414062010-03-27T08:20:54.537-04:002010-03-27T08:20:54.537-04:00Ah....I feel like I have been on a walk through NO...Ah....I feel like I have been on a walk through NOLA!!!
