I especially like the 2nd pic, Nikola. Nice colors and an interesting take on the flower. Are you sure that is a lilac? It is very different from the ones we have in the states.

Thanks Craig.
By "lilac" I meant the colour.

Nikola, so the cherry trees are flowering down at your place already, you lucky guy!
During the recent days up here we have got terribly chilly winds and rain mixed with snow... brrr!
I´d like to be in the Mediterranean region right now! One day I´ll move to the south, after retirement at least.

Your nice second shot shows a Pulsatilla.

Cheers,
Betty

very nice photos Nikola. I too like #2 the best, it has a feeling of movement to it. Plus the colors are very pleasing.

Glad Spring has come your way Nikola. Good shots.

Thanks folks!
Betty thanks for the flower info. You know much about flowers and small critters, do you?
With Global warming maybe the Mediterranean climate comes to you.
