It is amazing how much the picture changes depending on what direction you are shooting. All these photos were taken at the same time I just walked around the tree to find nice details and light.

I love this moment of the year, the nature is waking up ( me too, by the way 🙂 ) and all the small details and greenery plus the the light. Yes!! I am over the moon, once again I survived the dark winter.

Here are some wood sorrel that raised its head at my summer house.

I have no idea what this is, it is so tiny I hardly saw it, fortunately I did. I did not notice how lovely it was until I unloaded my pictures.

A yellow crocus emerged to give color to my still very brown garden, though there is lots of moss to give the nature a green boost. Still waiting for the grass to grow.
