I don’t care what date it is, I’m coming out! Early bloomer in the front yard…
I always start the Springflower series with these, but this is really exeptionally early :-).

No, no new roses, still the “frozen” ones from last year, but in a better closeup.
But I discovered some early bloomers in the front yard today, more on that later!

I have no idea what this house once used to be, but today it’s a kindergarden. I know that this building is at least a century old, because I once found a photo from presumably the early 1900s of this street in a book of old postcards and it’s immediately recognizable.

I just read that the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter, but I wonder if his forecast is also valid for Europe, because we didn’t have any proper winter here yet! Well, at least the sun is shining today…

Still scavenging in unposted photos from last year…
here I was just checking if the lamp in my old globe still works :-).

Another recently renovated house front with a nice old-school design.

Something unposted from December – this bush looked like it was on fire with its yellow leaves!

I’m participating in a Google+ Black and White photography project this year and the first assignment for January was Still Life. I almost dropped out of the project because I was feeling really sick until the middle of January, when I suddenly had this idea. This photo is actually not the original I posted in the group, but a slightly re-staged and improved version because I was not really satisfied with the first attempt.
