Happy March 8!

Throwing flowers at favourite women because it’s today.

They are coming over too, my two favourite women, first one and then the other. Party!

And now let’s see how spring flowers come rolling in around here. No matter how many marches it takes, before we’re allowed to be free.

True, these golden balls hang around all winter.

I tried to put a name to this tree, but “Tuscany tree balls” didn’t yield anything useful.

Then the mimosa gets ready for today when in Italy they love to gift its branches to women.

Just under the mimosa these delicate blossoms appear.

They are in the shade but don’t seem to mind.

This pretty bunch of violets was spotted close to home.

They remind me that here there are no other first spring flowers, typical of Slovenia, such as snowflakes, snowdrops, primroses and crocuses.

Bestia is ready for spring. Note the dandelions. I wonder if this field will be full of poppies again this year. It’s not a given.

Lake Burano and a tree in bloom.

I never know about these trees.

Which are the white ones? Which are the pink?

It is pretty, whichever it is.

The bee concurs.

This rosemary makes this bee happy too.

Some more rosemary for remembrance. And you might recognise this backdrop: The Tarot Garden by Niki de Saint Phalle.
