a little red, a little yellow

Let's take a little break from the snow
and go back to the first week of january instead.
Not a snowy white winterland then yet.
What a difference when looking outside now.
I have to admit, although very cold, I do love this white world.


Maybe due to the grey and dark weather during the first days of 2013,
I enjoyed every tiny sprinkle of colour more than ever then.

There were the raspberries I couldn't resist while shopping.

Don't they look great on and around the chocolate banana

cupcakes I made?

And the yellow dots?

Those are from the Forsythia branches I cut on the last day of 2012.
Remember me telling you about that? You can read it here.

No Forsythia abloom in the garden yet, but,

in the house, in a colourful red and white dotted can,

they brought the first spring colour.

 

Enjoy!

I've been trying to take pictures of the many birds in the garden,
without succes though.
So instead, I decided to take the flowerpot with grapehyacinths
which are now blooming in the house,
outside into the snow and photograph those.
Aren't flowers the easiest things to photograph?
They don't fly, they always smile and have the prettiest colours.
Will show you those photos soon!
O yes, took that pot with blooms in again afterwards of course!


Bye,
Marian
