Here I am sitting at my desk and thinking what can I bring as a beginning. I do not really begin a lot today, as with 78 years, there is not a lot I can begin, I leave it to the youngers. OK, I often begin a new book, but I suppose we all do. And then I looked out of the window and what did I see. The first fresh leaves of Spring on a tree outside. It was peeping over our hedge and suddenly it was there. I did not notice it was developing. My problem is now that I cannot give this tree a name, althiough I should know.
Anyhow Spring has sprung outisde and it can only get better. I decided this small piece of tree was not enough, so I went outside and took a photo of more.
The beginning of a new season.

Lovely yellow. Might be a European cornel (Cornus mas). The upcoming full moon brings some cold days and nights again.

You are right with the Cornel. I remember the fruit from last year. We were supposed to have some snow today, but so far so good.

You know I typically do not stop for these posts, but that bloom got my attention. I remember this from last year, but still can not identify it. That is rare for me. It looks like a sort of Forsythia to me, but not quite. It looks more like a Cornelian cherry, Cornus mas, but I am unfamiliar with that species.
