Yay! 🙂 🙂 Beautiful shot of the hawthorn and I love the lushness, Gilly! Here’s to Spring! We seem to have temporarily lost it up our way but I live in hope of the drab lifting. 🙂 Happy Thursday to you!
Spring! The hope of things to come. Hawthorn is also called ‘bread and cheese’ I remember my grandmother saying that the young leaves go very well in a Ploughman’s lunch! A REAL ploughman’ lunch, that is 😆. I’ve never tried it, though.
I made crab apple and hawthorn berry jelly last summer, it’s delicious as jam or savoury 🙂
S.p.r.i.n.g. and the revelation of new growth. Sigh. Gorgeous, Gilly. ❤ ❤ ❤
This is so lovely and refreshing — both the words and the picture. Of course — the words are their own picture as well.
Beautiful photo, Gilly. Your haiku really sounds like a rousing welcome to Spring. 🙂
So fresh, soft, and beautiful, only in the early spring. 🙂 Always enjoy your Thursday Haiku, Gilly.
Really lovely…so delightfully fresh Gilly💕

I like the freshness in your new leaves. Very nicely captured, Gilly.
This is beautifully shared and the photo is perfect! ❤
You’ve got Spring. Finally.
A beautiful image and haiku, showing me what’s in store for me. Warsaw trees are in the stage of early budding. As a southern hemispherean I’m delighted by bareness – admittedly on a sunny day so far.
