The Bluebells are still in the shade here but they were out all over the place while we were in Scotland and they were ready and waiting for us when we got back to Wales too.

That Early Morning Dew
Early morning sunlight, dew on the grass and flowers – what more could you ask for?
The Daffodils have been and almost gone at Easter time in Galloway, Scotland but the Bluebells are coming through and both the flowers and the grass look like they are revealing in the early morning sun.
Full Cycle – Amaryllis
Another of our flowers that stunned us this year was our Amaryllis. I should have used my DSLR Canon 550D but instead, for convenience, I used my iPhone.
Clematis Montana Freda
Clematis Montana “Freda” – this was our compensation for not seeing so much of our Cherry blossom this year. Though the plant is not yet very extensive, it has put out its best set of flowers yet and is a great pleasure to see on the edge of our patio 🙂

On Returning Home
Firstly I must thank everyone for the likes and comments made while we have been away. If I have not done much liking or commenting on my first day back from our Easter break, I can only apologise. Things will gradually get back to normal over the coming days and weeks.
The thickening carpet of Cherry blossom petals in our garden confirms what we expected – i.e. we would miss a large part of the tree’s Springtime display while we were away in Scotland.
But we are not sad because we had a great time with mostly excellent weather and some very enjoyable walks. I will be posting some of my photography from our trip to NE England and SW Scotland as soon as I get the chance to process it.
The photo below was taken on my iPhone.
Another from the Garden – Amelanchier
This and yesterday’s photo were actually taken two weeks ago just before we went away for a break. We were hoping that they would still be here for us when we got back. The Cherry and the Amelanchier have got to be two of our favourites in the garden!
From the Garden
No featured StillWalks video this week – just a shot from our garden – Flowering Cherry 🙂
White Bluebells or Blue Bluebells
Spring is the only season left for me to produce a video from Lower Lliw Reservoir. I am hoping that now that the bluebells are coming out in our garden, there may also be some showing themselves at the reservoir.
I wonder if they will be white bluebells or blue bluebells?
