Merry Christmas to Everyone...

A Christmas present to you with images you would not expect at this time of the year???? First I wanted to show you some images from last year with wonderful "iceflowers" due to lack of snow photos from this year. But instead - look what I found today while taking some freah air with the bycicle! I take this as a wonderful omen for a good New Year - the full blossoms of a Daphne.
In reality of course this bush often blooms while there is still snow. But nevertheless for me it stands for hope towards those blossoms to come hopefully soon and which are a feast again each year. I can hardly wait....

*** Merry Christmas to You All ***

"Daphne Mezereum" (Thymelaeaceae)
