Prunus dulcis, Almond tree, Penedos

wow, feeling of spring!!!!!

Nicht nur die Blüten, auch die verwitterten Steine mit ihren Farben sind eine Pracht!

A place I enjoy looking at indeed!

Chez nous aussi tous les amandiers sont fleuris.
Bon Dimanche paisible et reposant.

Normal, my place and yours are about the same latitude !

As jovens flores vão acarinhar, novamente, o velho muro
A ligação renova-se todos os anos na primavera, Isabel

already spring flowers

I'm pretty sure I've never seen an almond tree in real life.........and this one looks really gorgeous. I love the dry stone wall and the the lichen too.

Beautifully captured Isabel.

in Kew gardens, in a conservatory maybe?
A legend tells they were planted in the Algarve by a prince who married a Nordic princess who was in depression because she missed snow. When the trees bloomed the prince took the princess to the highest tower of their castle and she thought it was snow... and they were happy ever after !

Ha,ha.........I've never been to Kew Gardens, but they probably have some.

Such a lovely tale :-)

beautiful!

Un air de printemps magique pour le nord

Stunning lichens and beautiful capture!

The color of the lichen contrasts beautifully with the almond blossoms!

La promesse d'un printemps précoce !
