Our garden changes colour after an early morning shower. Yellow poppies, primrose and pansies look vibrant and replenished. In years gone by, fishermen dried their nets here. Different guardians blessed with different times.

That is a superb photograph, Xenia, and such a lovely colour. We have honeysuckle blooming next to my study window and its shape looks a little like that. Its colour reminds me of pear drops. 😉
I can imagine your garden changing colour – yellow flowers are such happy flowers. My favourite is the raindrop of a haiku. xxx

Yours is the kind of spring I love best, damp and lush with the flowers opening in a sedate fashion.
