Visited a local area yesterday that has many early-purple orchids.

Nice Thomas. It also has a kind of Autumn-look with the typical yellow on the trees.


It's time here for the Common Laburnum. or the Golden Rain

Evening- back light.

Yah, it was a somehow coldish April this year. Leaf buds have quite slowly unfolded, showing delicate colors for a longer period of time.

Wonderful shots, everyone.

Pink cherry blossom (I assume it is) is in full bloom these days around here.

Even if the calender is saying july, there is still spring in the mountains. This is how the ice at Tissedalsvatnet at about 1400 meters high looked today.

Very nice. What a contrast to the high summer greens here. Independent from that it's a nice ice shot. Like it.
