When nature awakens after a long winter and flowers start to bloom

It’s like a festival of flowers walking through this fairytale village I live in. Around every corner, spring is greeting you. Flowers are covering the gardens and shooting out of the ground.

We usually go straight into the forest since we’re living at the edge of it. But today I wanted to enter the forest on the other side of town. Forcing us to walk through the village and past all those lovely gardens.

Come with me on my walk through nature. Embrace the colors of spring.

I also came upon the first tulips. Soon they will take over gardens.

These ones I’ve captured a few days ago the first time. They don’t come up in my memory of ever seeing them before. With their gentle feather leaves, they fit into the fairytale-like life over here.

Then there are obviously all the window boxes filled with spring blossoms.

As we’re leaving the village behind us more spring flowers pop up in the fields surrounding the town.

Several trees and bushes started to bloom already. Especially cherry blossoms are far ahead in their bloom. They might suffer since the frost is still to come.

Last but not least I’m leaving you with this fighter. A little plant growing out of the wall. If you say something isn’t possible think back at this seed when it landed in the wall…

Nothing is impossible. With the right mindset!
