dolorosa_12I walked to the swimming pool this morning accompanied by a dawn chorus of birdsong: wood pigeons, sparrows, and blackbirds. When I emerged for the return journey, Ely was shrouded in misty rain, and the cathedral was disappearing into the sky.
Everywhere there are signs of spring.
Today's open thread is, quite simply: what are the flowers like where you are? Here, we've got cherry and plum blossom, daffodil bulbs emerging from the soil, flowering rosemary, and buds just starting to appear on one of the quince trees. Here's a photoset I put up on Instagram.
Please feel free to share photos or descriptions of your own floral scenery in the comments. For those of you in the southern hemisphere, flowers are probably going to be harder to come by, so instead: what is the plant life doing as things turn autumnal?

Date: 2022-03-07 03:53 am (UTC)I live in a residential neighborhood in California so there are people planting roses, which is what we see the most of. There are a few jacaranda trees nearby too. My parents used to have one in the backyard growing up but the roots spread too close to the house and they had to cut it down. Otherwise, the lack of rain means people are trying to conserve water and less flowers in general.
