Feb 14, 2017 – Spring is coming

Glasgow, Scotland, taken on February 13, 2017

It is not the first time I am posting a photo of this tree outside my office, and I gotta say it’s my favourite tree on campus. For the past two years, I noticed flowers beginning to bloom in February or March but this year, they were already blooming by late January. It gives me joy seeing this tree as I walk by and enter my office building, especially since the usual Glasgow rainy season has been relatively rain-free thus far. Spring is coming, or has it already arrived? 😉

May 23, 2016 – [Monday] Anything Goes: Tulips in Ottawa

Ottawa, Canada, taken on May 23, 2016

Just in time for the last day of the Tulip Festival this year in Ottawa – woohoo! I dropped by Major’s Hill Park where the tulips were still in bloom, and beautiful they were! Of course you can’t compare the ones in Ottawa with what they have in Keukenhof, but I was still quite impressed after having been to the same festival 14 years or so ago. Thanks for your gratitude, Netherlands!

The rainy season in Bordeaux could be a gloomy time of the year, but once the blue skies begin to appear, the air feels like spring time and life is awaken again

May 26, 2015 – [Tuesday] Black & White: Sakura

I believe this is one lone cherry blossom, perhaps the earliest one to burst out of its bud, waiting for its companions to bloom into the Belgian spring, which would be a lovely one 😉 (See the original photo in colour.)

May 04, 2015 – [Monday] The Places I Called Home: Tree and church

Glasgow, Scotland, taken on May 4, 2015

Winter seems to have returned in Glasgow, but at least today was a very nice bank holiday Monday, giving me a chance to walk around and snap some photos, including this one of the Wellington Church. Rain is coming back tomorrow is here to stay. No spring for us all 😦
