Our garden in April I

May I invite you to come to our garden? We have sunny weather, a pleasing temperature of 12 degrees C. All our rare flowers are coming up and show their first tender beauty of spring. On my photos you can see the following flowers: filled buttercup, tormentil, alpine barrenwort, wild and normal tulips, helebores, dew drops, primulas, pansies, dog tooth violets, grape hyacinths, camelia, etc. etc.

I found a wonderful poem by my favorite poet Rainer Maria Rilke who can describe everything much better than me:

Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows’ wintry grey.
Little rivulets of water changed
their singing accents.

Tendernesses, hesitantly, reach toward the earth
from space, and country lanes are showing
these unexpected subtle risings
that find expression in the empty trees.
