a pretty city for sure…and one can feel the warmth of the sun…we had 3 summer like days here in etown too…now less warm but spring it arriving…smiles for a happy day Peter ~ sending joy hedy 😀
As I type this we have a thunderstorm going on and, yes, summer is gone for a while. But in 2 weeks time everything grew richly green! I keep finding that amazing, the speed of nature in spring. I hope spring will be in Etown very soon. 🙂 Oh, and the girl under the blossom tree – I really only noticed her when I looked at the pictures at home (shame on me!) but yes, they form a lovely combination of colour and expectations. Have a good day Hedy! Peter.
Thank you Jane! It was uncommenly hot for an april day in my country. And with the tree branches not even green everybody was out to the park sun bathing. 🙂
Vielen dank Ellen! Mein Stadt is vielleicht nicht die meist pittoreske von die Niederlände aber es ist lebendig und gesellig und man kann endlos und sehr angenehm wanderen. 🙂
Dank je wel Liesbeth! Dat meisje onder de boom is een mazzeltje. Dat de trap je opvalt vind ik gaaf! Dat vond ik bij het terugkijken van de ‘oogst’ ook een mooie foto.
Thank you Deborah! The pink tree is very spring and the temperature then was very summer, so the combination was quite extraordinairy. Groningen is a university city and our students love to pimp their bycycles (also to be able to find them in the ocean of other parked bikes 🙂 ) And yes, the girl in the windowsill…. I have a crave for such an image after I saw this woman sitting like that in Venice, after sunset, she and her book, while the gondolas where passing by and some far away church bells ringed in the warm night.
It certainly has! At this moment it is dramatically colder again, but in the mean time the country has become green and lush, that special greenness of young vegetation, soft like baby skin. 🙂
It does look like you had summer already – lovely! Great collection of photos, the first one is cute with the girl matching the tree… my favorite is the second last shot with the shadow art!
Thank you! Our summer was extremely brief though. We had autumn in the meantime and is it supposded to freeze at night the next weekend! But no, that is normal april/mai weather over here. We have this saying: April does it’s will. And so it is. It was the summer spell that was extraordinary. The girl and the tree is a lucky capture and, I agree, it is cute. The shadow picture was deliberate and I find that a cool shot too! I makes me want to look at these bridges more carefully. Everything man made is after all design.
Dankewel! Ie heb’n geliek (das een soort Drents geloof ik. Ik hoor nu mijn moeder spreken) Ain lutje oet oog’n kieken en dr is altied wel wat te zain. Oons loug (dat van joe en dat van mie) is zo verkeerd nog nait. 🙂
Thank you Dwight! The tree is a cherry as far as I know. I don’t know much about trees and plants in general, but I’m pretty sure is indeed is a cherry. They only bloom for a short while. Now the tree is blossemless again. I know because it’s just around the corner of my house. 🙂
I’ve seen it! It’s a wonderful picture and the words are as well. Spring is such a great time for blossoms and tender leaves. I had to cut my hegde today. The new outgrow was rather severe but still very soft, like baby hair. Everything smells nice. It’s good to be outside!

Loved that lush pink tree, the woman basking in the sun on her windowsill, and the bicycle basket full of flowers.
Great series Peter!

Yeah. I read that it snowed in Normandy on the 30th! Weird. That is generally bad for crops and vineyards. Let’s hope they were not affected. Cheers

Thank you! I like that one too. It is like runes isn’t it? The designer must have been thinking of the shadow when lit from the west 🙂
