Spring Is Here
The title of the post may look like a joke to those who know what kind of weather we've been having the last few days, but the weather is coming and going, changing all the time. Saturday for example the sky fell off, it was raining so abundantly, I thought the end of the world was here. Then yesterday it started raining, then it stopped, so I thought I'd go to the grocery store for a quick buy. Till I got out, it started raining so heavily I could barely see anything. Till I got to the grocery store, I was totally wet.
This morning it was gloomy, overcast and cold. I left home with my umbrella and beanie in my bag, just in case the sky wants to fall down again. Lucky me, there was no rain today, only a light snow that wasn't scary but was cold. Now it's sunshine. Yeah, it's April.
In other years I remember I got frustrated with the weather as I was fed up with gloomy days and cold, but not this time. I guess this war has thought me to appreciate what I get and shut up. It is what it is. Life is 10% about what happens to you and 90% what you do about it. Rain or shine, I have a home, food on the table, I'm safe and healthy, so why complain, right?
Spring is here as you can see. I saw these small leaves and I could not be happier. The majority of the photos were taken with the macro option, so may look big on the screen, but they are barely 1.5 - 2cm. Look at these cuties.
I wanted to make a photo shoot about these buds because I have a feeling it's the first and the last one. This whimsical weather can't take forever and as it has happened in past years, we may not have spring at all as we could jump directly at the beginning of summer. Which means nature will have a jump, instead of a slow process.
Looking at these tiny leaves, I'd like to see a video at fast speed about their growth. Would be a nice experience for sure.
This was an interesting find. The tree is old, covered by moss and all the side branches cut. Yet, there's this new life growing. Nature has its own way of designing things, but I'm afraid vandals who have nothing better to do will damage it soon.
Daffodils are starting to wake up as well. I'm not sure how long it takes to open, I suppose a week or two. Will be watching :)
And here's the first cherry flower and the only one I could find. It was among a bunch of branches, could barely reach it. There were a lot of buds, so I suppose in a few days there will be more flowers. I'll be back with this!
It's not a secret that I love colorful leaves. Usually autumn is the season when you can make the most of it as nature is very generous then, but there are exceptions from the rule, like these rose leaves in spring.
These leaves are red when they are small, then go green when growing.
These are the little things in life I am appreciating right now. I stop whenever I see something interesting, take a few photos and admire their beauty, even though people are looking at me in a strange way. There are plenty of things to appreciate in life, you just have to open your eyes and see what's around you. This is my daily dose of relaxation.

Hi @erikah
I totally agree with you about our relaxation in the uniqueness that nature gives.
There is always something new in every situation we meet on every changing day.
There is always new hope for all of us, like shoots that will form new branches to raise every hope.
Keep positive
I totally agree with you on that and could not have said it better. I wish everyone could see that as it is a real gift.
Some people wait for the arrival of spring, just to see the natural trinkets that are so perfect, I am one of those people who look forward to the weather, because I really want nature full of colorful beauty. 🤗🤗
Same here. I am always looking forward to witnessing the awakening of nature and capture the moment every time I have the occasion 😀
And it's so much fun 📸📸
Well... in Bucharest we had summer, spring and winter in one week :)
I suppose Transylvania is not very different, unfortunately. Seems like mother nature wants to teach us a lesson.

Yes, many of us do not have that privilege. Only after losing something, we begin to scrutinize ourselves, so having a sense of gratitude always adds to the personality traits, mental well being.
Well said. Some can always appreciate what little they have and for some nothing ever is good enough.

Indeed spring is here! You have some wonderful photos capturing its beauty. Thanks for sharing.
Spring seems to be here but it's still cold. -6°C this morning, so it doesn't feel like spring at all.
My soul was refreshed by seeing these pictures. How beautiful it is to revive trees in spring, especially the reddish buds and spring blossoms. Excellent🙏
Thank you, it's the time of the year when nature is waking up.
Spring is here...but we still get negative temperature during the night. The seasons are definitely drunk lately, lol
-6°C here this morning 🤦♀️
Last week I was thinking of cleaning my winter boots and putting them away for next year. Yesterday I had to wear them because my spring boots are suede leather. And as it's happened is previous years, I guess after winter boots I'm going to wear sandals 😳
This is not healthy.
Same here! But yeah, this is definitely going to cost our health. We can already see the results along with so much flu going on and people losing their immunity 😞
Opening your eyes to notice the daily beauty....what a great way to improve your day! I also do this and I believe that this mentality could help anyone improve their day. Too often we rush to get to work or home without even noticing the nature around us. The small things add up though. I loved the mossy tree, the colours of upcoming spring/summer are gorgeous
It's a way f life if you can get used to it. No matter ow rushed your day is, if you're able to spare a few minutes to nature every day, it's already a win-win I think.
Definetely! It is about making time versus having time.

Greetings from Turkey,🙋♀️ yesterday I took a photo shoot in a garden full of cherry trees. You have photographed the awakening of nature very beautifully. 🌸
Lucky you, that is beautiful! Enjoy it till you can.

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful post!!
My pleasure, I'm glad you liked it. I'm hoping to share more, especially wild cherry blossoms but maybe next week as nature is not ready yet.
:)
Que bonito, me encanta esa forma de pensar y la comparto, las plantitas son felicidad, me encantan las fotos y como se ven los colores,me hace feliz de solo verlas, espero ver actualización de como han prosperado. Aqui el clima es caluroso en esta época del año, lo que me recuerda que he olvidado regar mis plantitas 😫 me encantan las plantas pero soy mala cuidando de ellas. Saluditos @erikah todo está espectacular, estas pequeñas cosas son las que le dan sabor a la vida ❤️👌
