SEX IN SIX PHOTOS !!!!
Almost all the snow has melted now and the day started quite foggy it didn't deter the sun from breaking through though; I find sunrises quite romantic. H.H.W. Longfellow starts his poem; Sunrise on the Hills;I'm starting to notice how often I mention the weather in my posts; quite strange for someone who doesn't actually get outside much!! I wonder is it because I'm a stereotypically British person or is it because I'm a gardener?..........probably a mixture of both!!I stood upon the hills, when heaven's wide arch
Was glorious with the sun's returning march,
And woods were brightened, and soft gales
Went forth to kiss the sun-clad vales.
My forgotten Amaryllis is now sending up another flower stem!......It must have been under so much stress that it decided "I must procreate"!
I took this close-up photo of one of its flowers, the stamens show up quite well, the poor stigma got chopped off though...ouch..; I loved it so much I decided to use it for my picture when I comment.........so if you see an Amaryllis Ruth in your comment boxes instead of a Butterfly Ruth it is me!
Speaking of procreation... look what I saw in the bottom of the pond today; luckily the water is so clear at the moment I managed to get a reasonable photo although the two cavorting frogs were right at the bottom; I guess Spring IS in the air.
The cold weather doesn't seemed to have deterred the aphids;.....can you see all these greenfly on the new shoots of our Ernest Morse Rose; I'm afraid their sex life got ruined as they were soon squished!
I'm persevering with my attempts to get a decent shot of birds; Icarus gave me some useful advice that I'm attempting to follow but I think this is about the best I'm going to do as my little camera doesn't have a very fast shutter speed. These seagulls seem to be well inland at the moment...I guess they are getting hungry and hunting for food to build their strength up before the mating season begins!Right I'm going to look through the TV magazine now....there's got to be a nice romantic film on to watch on one of the channels................

hi Ruth nice sunrise. Your Amaryllis is so Vivid red and your pond is very clear looks like the frogs having fun init
How inconvenient having to do it underwater. Don't they get COLD??
Anyway I've found another Portuguese blog. I didn't give your name. But i think the pixx are wonderful & lovely music. I wish I could read the poems. I really do.

jeanette; thanks for popping over from sunny Australia.....waiting to see some frog spawn now but it's a bit early yet I think.
Good day, Ruth! Debtor for its visit to my “Life and Poetry”! I was happy for having appreciated “the butterflies”… rsrsr...
