new green leaf-buds unfurling
hawthorn tree for Clare
autumn-planted May blossom
So good that the little hawthorn tree, popular with wildlife, has survived the long dank wet winter. When it blossoms one May, hopefully not too many seasons ahead, the double flowers will be deep pink and 'rose-like'.
I keep an album in Clare's memory on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/150442566@N07/albums/72157717987950691/
it began as a place to share her beautiful jewellery and after she died, I used it, and still do use it, to remember her. In addition to planting the hawthorn in our garden, we have converted her former bedroom into an upstairs sitting room which is where I am writing to you.
Happy New Week!
Lovely closeup detail well captured Hazel so nice it comes back year on year, we have a Hazel tree in memory of a our sons lost baby that fortunately survived the move from our previous house:)
Good to see this lovely hawthorn busting into life.
Lovely photos if Clare & it occurred to me how many precious things that Clare made so carefully. You are surrounded by her treasure. Big birthday coming up too.
That sounds a lovely idea Peter and so good the Hazel tree survived the move.
Brian thank you so much appreciated .
It was quite difficult to focus on such a small object quite close to the surroundings, thank you.
I did not find focus easy with such a small subject. I think I used zone instead of spot focus in the end.
