New growth

I think my very favourite trees in the garden are the conifers.
The beautiful new growth every Spring is so pretty & this one with its little tassels, shoots & baby cones is particularly attractive.

Three good things:
1. We have found a new shade to fit the wall light without buying a whole new unit.
2. A slice of chocolate cake in the bag that I hadn't ordered when I went to the bakery yesterday, a rather sweet surprise!
3. I found out what a glug jug is, I googled it & I want one! The noise they make is fascinating!
I expect you are all googling glug jug now.....there should be a video to watch!

I love the detail in this, it has almost the whole life cycle in one image! Furthermore, I now know what a Glug Jug is - I want one!!!

@judithdeacon aren't they amazing Judith, I had never heard of it until today! The herb garden lady who has a garden at the Chelsea Flower Show Jekka McVicar collects them.

Beautiful beautiful!! I didn't know they were called glug jugs!!.....they were very 'on trend' when we got married but I managed not to have one!!

[Maggiemae]

I haven't the available internet minutes to google so I'll just have to remember later. Perhaps one goes glug glug when one drinks out of them? The conifers close up are so interesting! P

[Maggiemae]

That "P" was not supposed to arrive - so don't think there is a hidden meaning!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae He he no I won't, I'm a,ways amazed at the stuff that comes into my computer as if by magic!

Such gorgeous shades of green , great capture and composition -- I also love pine trees --but this really reminds me of Christmas !!

Lovely shot, I want a glug jug now too. I have a friend who owns a frog mug and it croaks when you tip it up. I want one of those too.

[Chris K]

I want one too. Would be such fun. Love how you have captured all the lovely new growth. I always think they look a bit like little candles

[Delia]

I always think those look like little owls. I love this tree too. Great shot. I have a gurgle jug which belonged to my mother. Used to love it as a child.

[Lois]
