Penedos, Almond tree

thats a kind of winter I like....

We have extreme hot temperatures in summer, but winters are mild. We cannot have all but I miss snow... two weeks contemplating snow and ice on the extreme cold is a change I appreciate, but this year...

it will be better, next winter......

Always good to see Almond blossom. Normally we often spend some time in Spain or Portugal at this time of the year and always look forward to seeing these beautiful trees.
Thanks for sharing. Herb

Next year I hope...

A lovely series of images Isabel, there are a surprising number of winter flowering trees and shrubs here, it amazes me how some flowers are able to stand frost and snow without any ill effects while a hint of frost will kill others. Some of our big old country houses had walled gardens with flues running though the walls to try and protect early flowing fruit like peaches and apricots, a junior gardener would spend the night keeping the boilers well stoked

Nature adapts... very interesting story about the way to protect early flowering fruits from freezing !

Pour remonter le moral l'amandier en fleur est top

Malheureusement très éphémère...

Beautiful capture! Stay well!

Beautifully captured and good explanation Isabel.

Another lovely image, Isabel. Your climate sounds very similar to what we would have here in several areas.

So nice to see that Spring does still exist on this planet when it is so dark and dull outside here !
