After the rain.

After the rain.



Now, it really starts.
Everywhere it’s growing fast.
The meadow looks summery.

Everything looks new.

A tree without leaves. We see it all winter.
A tree with leaves. We see it all summer.
A tree with half bursted leaves. An special sight which isn’t for long. In just a couple of days the verdure is tight.

Now, they are here.
All the insects.
I couldn’t resist taking some photos.




Now, when we light is returning, its pleasant again to photograph.
I went out into the forest seeking for the spring.
Are the buds opening up yet?
No!
No put out, even if we look really close.

The old and the new. At the same time.
A silent catastrophe!
Someone has, long ago, broken the stem of this little tree.
But it’s still growing.
A forest of branches is coming up from the root.

Expectant buds.

January buds.


Now, we take a walk along the Stenungeån stream.
The Wood Anemones are in full bloom.



Lesser Celandine (Ranunculus ficaria L.)

It’s budding everywhere.

Now, we take a look at the stream.
The first we see is this catkin flowing by.



I didn’t want to reduce these next three pictures.
May I ask you to scroll?

Can you see the face in the water?

We take a closer look at the face.

Thank you for following me all the way!
Let’s look for the spring.
We take a walk to Solgårdsdalen.
On the way we find these hairy buds.

At the allotment-garden.
Crocus.


In the south slope the new grass has grown rather high.

Here the brook is flowing.
Can we find the spring here?

We have to take a careful look.
But not through these eyes.

On the ground this leaf carpet is beginning to spread.

Flowing water is always fascinating.



The castle is beautiful.

Closeup on the facing stone.
Isn’t it beautiful?

This happens when the ice sinks down over a stone.


Great Tit (Parus major)

Rhododendron.
Waiting for the spring.
