After a moody and drizzling week, today we had a glorious day which of course we spent at the farm. We haven't been there since last Wednesday and it was great to be out at the fields again. I know that for those living in the northern countries the moody weather may last for months but for our Mediterranean temper, five days without sunshine is way too much!
I had my camera along without being sure what my subject will be, but I wanted some fresh material for you guys. I mean I have great pictures in my archives that I haven't share before but some new stuff is always welcome. And those beauties are as fresh as they can get! I think I can still feel their scent :)
Almond trees are always the first ones to bloom and grow new leaves even before the spring comes but last Sunday we had some snowfall in the area and I wasn't expecting to see any signs of blooming so soon after the snow. And yet the first leaves are popping up, the buds are ready to burst and some of them have already blossom!
It was such a joy taking those pictures! First of all to witness the first signs of spring is a wonderful thing on its own! Second, the day was glorious and as I already said, I had missed being outside doing something that I like and third (and equally important) I hadn't used my macro lens for many days and my hands were itching me :)
And the most amazing thing is that when I was looking towards the mountains, I could see the snow still there and not far at all!
