Blooming beautiful

We hit 27 degrees today and it was all blue sky and sunshine in Melbourne.

The crabapple in our garden is in blossom.



And the colours are gorgeous.

I love the pink and white combination and the way the sun shines on the leaves.

Daylight saving means it's still light when I get home. Yay.

Time to enjoy the garden with a glass of wine.

Spring blossom

Today was just one of those perfect spring days.
Sunshine
blue sky and
blossom.



Our weeping cherry tree has put on quite a show this year.

When we renovated our house there was quite a lot of talk about removing this tree from our garden to open up the view.

I'm so glad we didn't.

Looking at the tree on a day like this gives me so much pleasure.

The promise ...

slowly

softly

she comes

on tippy toes

without a fuss

delicate buds unfurl

testing, testing

is it time?

nearly there ...

heavenly sent

heavenly scent

It's the promise ...

of spring

Magnolias. Magnificent.

These magnificent magnolias have unfurled in my office

Creamy, pink and sculptural.

A  wonderful way to welcome my new job.
