Here are some recent photos of flowers that are blooming in our backyard and the neighbourhood. The rose plant just outside the dining room window is now full of buds. This pic is of the first rose, a second has already bloomed and there are probably another 8 buds waiting to burst upon the world.

And this is what has happened to the cherry blossom tree outside our main door. Refer to my post on UJ's birthday to see the same tree in its earlier glory.

Here are a cluster of rosemary plants - they are abundant near the little circle leading from Pine Valley Road to the Orchards where our residence is. If you rub your hands on them, you can smell the rosemary; it reminds you of Body Shop or one of the many different bath and aromatic soap shops. Nice.

And these are just different flowering plants that are just all over the neighborhood. Very pretty.

And the views of the valleys and mountains in the clear air all around our humble abode are just to die for. The weather is perfect for walks - they bring a spring to your steps (pun unintended).

And so as you can tell, hope springs anew where there was solitude and sadness.
