People often ask me: which is your favorite season? To be quite honest, I'm never able to give a straight forward answer. I simply love all the 4 seasons and their characteristics. Having spend most of my life in Denmark and England, living with four distinct seasons, they simply get in your blood.
Some years ago I spend +3 years in the Middle East. A fantastic time from a cultural point of view, but I did miss my four seasons. There it was hot for 6 month and then slightly less hot the following 6 month. It was actually a rather strange feeling, as it was such a different rhythm to the year. It was lovely not having to wear loads of layers and winter boots, but still.

I agree, all 4 seasons have their special features. But seeing those perky daffodils this weekend did make me happy:)

I am having so much fun, I love all the different blogs, your photos are fabulous! you have had an adventurous life my friend!
I like to read about your seasons where you live. I'm in Nebraska - USA and we also have 4 seasons that are very different. Hot and humid (summer), Rainy and windy (spring) dry and cool (fall) and SNOW (winter).
Beautiful photos too!
Hi Birgitte: The definition of the word conjure, "Make (something) appear unexpectedly or seemingly from nowhere as if by magic." And your words really do conjure up pictures almost as wonderful as the ones you took in Abbey Gardens.
Even though, I may grumble about the Cold, I love having the four seasons.
The photos that you took at Abbey Gardens are Fantastic.
Thanks for the pics from the Abbey Gardens... spring has definitely sprung where you are. :) We're still weeks away from blossoming trees, my favorite being crabapples, with cherries a close second... that's when I start feeling "springy". ;)
Lovely post!
Linda :)

Gorgeous photos!
That first one looked like felting - very interesting.
I love having a change in seasons, but I think I'm just fine without a winter with snow. : )
Absolutely gorgeous post Birgitte!
Your photography is so lovely...
I didn't realize you would have so many beautiful things in bloom yet over there.

Thank you dear friends for all your lovely comments. I really appreciate them :-)
The first photo in the blogpost is the top part of an ancient gravestone where the lichen is 'blooming'/very active before covered by the shades of the trees. The colors are so intense!
We have had almost a week of lovely mild weather since the photos were taken and nature is 'exploding' around me. It's wonderful :-)

Gorgeous photos. I love Suffolk in the spring.
