Comments on: Blossom Time In The East End https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/03/30/blossom-time-in-the-east-end-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 30 Mar 2019 23:53:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Hels https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/03/30/blossom-time-in-the-east-end-x/#comment-1276356 Sat, 30 Mar 2019 23:53:45 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=173329#comment-1276356 Australia largely had evergreen trees rather than deciduous trees, so I have very little concept of the arrival of spring.. and truckloads of blossoms. So your photos are even more beautiful.

I did exactly the same this morning when I took my camera out where I live, and captured flowering trees and spring flowers, from Forsythia through to a whole range of spring bulbs and cascading aubretia.

What a great change to Beautiful trees, lovely people and great reminders.
Thank you, Pam from Ontario Canada (2inches of snow today)

But please remember it is at least a month earlier than it was about 25 years ago and that is due to climate change.

Very beautiful and I enjoyed drinking in each tree. Here in Montreal we have to wait another month before we get such glorious colors. You have inspired me to really look for them when they arrive.

I’ve just revisited all those wonderfully historic streets and parks I would aim for to ensure a period of nature was part of my working day. I’m now retired in Scotland but enjoy GA’s daily reminders of my former stomping ground.

Normally the air is vibrating with their activity.
