After The Rain Beauty

Fresh and all full of rain droplets. Love taking this kind of pictures. Planted the Allium bulbs last fall with the hope I would see them this year.

I keep on looking to see if I see a reflection in any of the droplets… One day I will master this too.

Wishing You all a nice Sunday…

Magnolia In Bloom

Spring is finally hear…

Though It feels like we skiped Spring once again… with +30 in past days.

So loving this heat…

Well until today.

Rain rain rain all day.

It’s Ok too grass and flowers love it.

My Magnolia tree is In full bloom once again this season… Glad I did get some great pictures before the rain today.

A Rose Bouquet

So many places one can buy a Rose bouquet….

I am sure you have bought roses here and there. We have all the wonderful Flower Stores that have the perfect Rose for You to give to your love.

I have been buying flowers here and there lately too. From all different stores and florist places.

Some of them lasted for weeks and some only a view days… no matter where I have bought them or received them from. All in prices from low to high…

Vince’s in Newmarket.. has beautiful bouquets …a gift from Reni.. Thank You my GF.

Yet I have to say that our local grocery store Vince’s has had some beautiful bouquets with primroses in them. One bouquet lasted for 5 weeks yet another only 1 week…I dry them all up after they are tipping over…

bought the one on the left and it lasted for 5 weeks now dried up on a vase…totally love it

Now just past days I bought roses from Wallmart… 5 for $6.- or 2 for $10.- well how can I say no to that deal… they are absolutely beautiful and the sent is amazing… Yes they don’t have the perfect straight stem.. who cares.. about that anyways…

from Wallmart just 2 days ago..

Spring Flowers

IMG_1973Flowers are blooming everywhere now…

So not just animals and bugs are in my backyard…

Pink Peony so beautiful

Enjoying the sunshine too. Beautiful day today ….

Peony is one flower I am happy to have in my garden…

Yes Ants come with this flower…Don’t mind that either…I know they serve a purpose…IMG_1947

Just care less for ant hills in the grass.

Raindrops

IMG_9701 (3)So you said it is raining again…well yes we have had a fair share of rain this spring and yes summer…Thunderstorms are usually here too.

So the one good thing is the grass …well the weeds are growing like mad.

 

I always have had a interrest in taking water droplet picture in the hope one day I can see the reflection of me in them …no luck so far. Or I just have not mastered the technic of this yet. I am hopeful one day I get it right.

But here I think these pictures are not to bad….really love the spiderweb and the funny end bloom of the Clematis flower.

 

 

Also genug mit dem Regenwetter … gut ist es schon doch haben in diesem Frühjahr einen fairen Anteil an Regen gehabt und ja immer noch obwohl es Sommer ist! Gewitter kommen halt auch dazu. Lach das Gras … sowie die Unkräuter wachsen wie wild.

Ich habe immer ein Interesse an Wassertropf und bin in der Hoffnung eines Tages die Reflexion von mir in eine Regentropfe zu sehen. … kein Glück so weit. Oder ich habe die Technik noch nicht beherrscht. 

Diese Bilder sind aber recht gut  … das Spinnennetz und die  ende Blüte der Clematis Blume gefallen mir besonders gut.IMG_9707

A Bouquet of flowers 

img_6004Oh I tell you every time I come home to Switzerland I see a Garden full of flowers at my Mom’s home. But what really seems to be special is this bouquet of flowers.

   My mom has them grow wild in her grass and every time she has to cut the grass they get cut down:-((  img_5942

 I told her I would cut the grass today for her, but what do I do with all the flowers? Yes just cut them was her reply …. No way will I cut them off just like that. At my home in Canada we can’t wait to see some flowers grow and now I have to chop them down…really:-(

img_5941So no grass was cut today and I decided  to make myself a nice spring bouquet for my  memory to keep when I am traveling back to Canada

Tomorrow I’ll cut the grass it has to be done

Spring Flowers in Switzerland

Well I do feel the spring but this was on my visit back home the first two weeks in March.  So nice and sunny, we had as always a great and unforgettable time back home.  At my home where I grew up…the grass if full of the flowers nothing like that you will see here in our neighborhood…just grass.  There it is grass with flowers growing in the grass…its fun to see.

 It’s interesting… I find every year when I talk to my mom and dad during this time they are about a month ahead with the weather.  And as it was on March 23rd we had -10 degreese and 10cm snow and they had +22 degrees…wow what a difference

 

So auch ich fühle den Frühling doch das war auf unserm Besuch in der Schweiz in den ersten zwei Wochen im März.  So schön warm und sonning war es da.  Wir haben wie immer  viele schöne Erinnnerungen machen dürfen.  da zuhause in der Schweiz wachsen sogar die Blumen im Grass, so etwas sieht man eigenlich schon selten bei und in unserer Umgebung.  Etwas agnz anderes, doch auch schön.
 
Wenn ich dann so jedes Jahr um diese Zeit meine Familie anrufe, sind die etwa eine ganzen Monat mit dem Wetter voraus….auch so ist es jetzt wieder .  Am 23 März schneite es bei und hier in Kanada mit -10 Grad und 10 cm Schnee.  Doch in der Schweiz waren es ganze +22 Grad warm und sonning…wow was für ein Underschied….
