The traveller is returned from warm, sunny Cyprus
where we were lulled to sleep by waves breaking on the shore
just metres below our balcony.
I have yet to sort through the many photographs
which I took on that jewel of a Mediterranean island
but promise to share some of them with you soon.
Today we awoke to a very different morning, the garden glistening under a light
shimmering of frost.
After the sun came up and blue skies appeared
I went outside, with my camera, to record the signs of Spring's early arrival in Normandy.
pretty primroses
daffodils in bud
delicate purple crocus with deep orange stamens
Mother Nature really knows how to make an entrance.
towering silver birch trees
the trunks seem to glow in the sunlight
the papery bark makes interesting patterns,
I've been playing with picmonkey again
this time using the out of focus bokeh technique
I like the effect but think I need to investigate further just how to use the feature correctly.
Joining Mrs Matlock for Alphabe-Thursday
where the letter N for Normandy is spotlighted this week.
