A Springy Saturday

Purple crocus

 As some flowers are showing in the garden...

Hydrangeas

... others are fading away.


Birds are singing here and there...


... and cats enjoying the nice weather...


... after the rainy days of last week.


Spring is in the air...


...and on my crochet.

Rowan's "Handknit cotton"

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Country & Cosily yours !

  2. Rachel, I agree with Elaine. I know I say it over and over to you....but, your photography is spectacular. The hydrangea leaves are my favorite in this set of photos.

    1. Thank you Meggie. All close-up pictures were shooted with a macro lens (and a monopod for the stability). I really had fun making these pictures. Hydrangeas are my favorite flowers: there are lots and lots of them in the garden.

  10. A lovely blog post with lots of spring feeling (although today one would say we're smack in winter again - yuck ... snow)!
    Love your crochet and crocus. Purple is definitely my colour!
    And then there's your "fluffy" cat which looks so teddybear-like! It's like pick me up and "ruffle" in my thick coat ;-)
    Have a nice week!
    Ann
