After an unusually long and cold winter in most of North America, spring has finally arrived, even in Canada!
A photo gallery to share the coming of the flowers! A celebration of the season as seen in my backyard in Calgary this past weekend.
A Glance at the Architecture of Downtown Casablanca
DrFumblefinger explores the architecture in “Downtown Casablanca”. Most were constructed in the period between WWI and WWII, and show art deco and art nouveau features combined with Moroccan/Moorish features.
The climbing rose is beautiful, I wish I can grow this Calgary!
Now that the weather is nice go to Pete’s Drive-in for a burger and a shake.
Well, our Brooklyn summer lasts longer, but we’ve had a surprisingly short spring after a tough winter—and to my surprise, our New Dawn roses—the pink ones in the pictures— are in full flourish a few weeks earlier than usual. In some climates, they’re supposed to have a second bloom in October, but after years, we can only hope. That’s all one New Dawn, over 25 years old…even when cut back to a stump it quickly and aggressively reclaims its territory.
Beautiful pictures. I hope that you get to enjoy both weeks of Calgary’s summer!
Ha Ha, the first is almost over!
Good idea!
