Photos: Flowers and Sunsets… and Pirates!

Enough politics for today, let’s have some pretty photos.

The mild and sunny weather of the past week has given nature a boost with spring flowers in full bloom all over. So here are some of them. These are all mobile phone shots BTW, hence the quality is a bit lower than usual:

Some kind of violets blooming in the neighbour’s garden.

A medley of springtime flowers, also in the neighbour’s garden. There are forsythias, daffodiles, pansies, primroses and others.

More forsythias blooming over a fence.

Some kind of shrub with bright pink blossoms peeking over a fence.

Forsythias and the pink blossomed shrub peek over the fence.

White tulips and little blue flowers whose English name I do not know in the garden.

Panoramic view of a particularly pretty sunset last week.

Finally, here is not a nature photo. No, this is a group shot of the small crew of five Playmobil pirates as well as one parrot and one monkey who live on my desk. I still hope for a female pirate someday, but though Playmobil makes female pirates, they only come in the big sets, not individually packaged:
