A somewhat moody anemone sideview. I’ll better post two Balcony Flowers per day from now on – the current count is at 75 and we’re only halfway through! Prepare for flower overload :-)

Next up from the same May 2009 series are a few photos of Canada Geese I also encountered at the riverfront. Despite their intimidating size, these are actually quite harmless if you don’t startle them. I was literally able to walk among them on the steps down to the water – but first, here is a trio swimming further away on the river.

Because I’m so far behind with the Springflowers, here’s a cherry blossom preview from a couple of days ago. The few remaining cherry blossom trees are in full bloom these days, but sadly not in front of our house anymore because “our” cherry blossom tree was felled in 2012 because it was deemed “unsafe”.

Mrs. Mallard looks a tad worried here, but she was in fact totally relaxed and didn’t even mind me pointing my camera at her. The river ducks are so used to people around here that you can almost pet them, but only almost! Better not mess with the private life of ducks :-).

This tree in the front yard of the house next to us, and each year for a couple of weeks it produces these seeds which drift through the air as if it’s snowing – but mostly only when the sun is shining!
