I used to grow a number of different Clamatis in my garden. This was one of my favourites. It was known as “The Star Of India.” 🌟 🙂

I am quite excited as my Exochorda or Machrabtha, also known as ‘The Bride’ (Pearl Bush), will be flowering soon. It has an abundance of little white flowers on it. This is mine looking quite splendid in 2004. 🙂


Honouring a father who has passed involves treasuring his enduring legacy of love, resilience, and the lessons that continue to influence our daily lives. Although he is no longer with us, his presence endures in heartfelt memories, shaping our values and offering comfort through the enduring, meaningful moments we shared.
It has been 9 years. I miss you, dad. My dad was F de.
I was named after him. I am F de aNa
I love sunflowers.

These were a birthday gift from my daughter a few years ago.

This afternoon, I went for a walk at the Central Park. I captured these lovely little flowers, which i believe are white crocus.

This is beautiful.
Spring arrives on whispered light,
gold poured gently through the sky,
touching earth with tender hands
and teaching sleeping roots to try.
Blossoms loosen from their dreams,
petals breathing blush and cream,
while daffodils in yellow gowns
step brightly from the winter’s seam.
The air is sweet with second chances,
cool but warm with promise too—
as if the world has turned a page
and written hope in shades of dew.
Birdsong stitches dawn today,
a silver thread of joy set free;
and every breeze that lifts your hair
says, “Begin again with me.”
Spring is not just bloom and sun—
it’s courage wrapped in fragile things,
a quiet heart that dares to beat
after frost has clipped its wings.
So open wide your waiting soul,
let light fall softly where it may—
for even the longest winter yields
to springtime’s gentle, brave ballet.
Oh, daffodils, so small, so strong,
You sing the earth’s returning song,
And in your gold, we see once more
That hope is what the spring is for.

The beautiful daffodils this morning, near to where I live. They were dancing in the wind.
I am #Golden 🙂
