Spring in Italy

Hi Everyone,

I have been wanting to do a blog post a few weeks back.. however I have been so terribly busy lately with work and all. Since today is easter... I decided to take this oppotunity to do a belated post on spring :D ( Happy Easter everyone!)

Peach Tree
 Well..here goes my spring post... 

      Buzzing sound of bees... birds chirping to a tune.. ants up and about... yup... nature is once more bursting into life!!! Its SPRING time folks!!! (in italian, its called PRIMAVERA - i know.. my first thought was shoes.. haha.. to those who are crazy shoe shoppers - I am one of them.. lols - its not the shoe brand you see in midvalley KL.. but its the term for spring in italian. Ive not seen this shoe brand here anyway.). There is a massive surge of growth spurt during this season... and these are some of the photos which I would like to share. Some were taken by me and some by my brother in law Paolo... :-) (Grazie Paolo)

          Spring is definitely the most beautiful season. It is a time when the new replaces the old and when life once again renews itself. As you can see here, there are some photos of certain fruit trees such as apricot, prune and peach. Each flower here represents each fruit that will be harvested towards the begininng - mid summer time. The flowers appear first before leaves.

    Spring is also a time to plant.. So far there are some seeds which have been sown ... salads, parsely, basil, tomatoes, eggplants, strawberries (yessss... I LOVE strawberries), thyme, mint and many others. Perhaps I will do another post on these plants as they grow.

    
    Well, that's all for now folks. I know my photography skills are horrible, but I do hope that you enjoy the pics. :)
