Greetings and welcome to another of my little, fuzzy-headed open threads posted via the realm of comforting cookie-scented community, the Street Prophets Group.
This week I’m continuing my series of springtime photos taken during a special tulip event at a dendrological garden just outside of Prague. Even fewer tulips in this week’s offering than last week’s, but I should be making up for that next week. There should be plenty to look at, regardless. I mean, c’mon, it’s a wonderful garden full of beautiful plants and adorable little critters. What’s not to love?
I may be uncharacteristically absent from the comments section. I should be romping around with Mrs the Werelynx in a part of the Czech Republic that’s new to both of us and very little is scheduled at this point. And the rest of the weekend is going to be more running around and socializing that will make moments sitting down in front of a screen few and far between.
You may well ask yourself, “What is this a photo of?” A rarely traveled side-path led to a little stone quarry where I spotted a tiny, fuzzy morsel under a slab of rock.
Then Mousie, with her mouth full of fluffy, white nesting material, made a desperate dash past the werelynx. Pounce! Gotcha!
How many Common European Green Frogs can you see in this picture?
In a back corner of the 72 hectares, a set of stairs leading up to other levels of the garden.
Do you hear someone singing?
A Song Thrush putting on quite a concert.
Nearby I found this birdhouse with an interesting extended entranceway. An entranceway which had its opening greatly widened. Perhaps by a larger bird than the house was intended for.
Slowly moving out of the backwoods and into the more formal areas toward the front of the garden.
So many varieties of heather …
And there, across the broad swath of prairie grasses, you have a glimpse of this year’s main tulip displays. And that’ll have to do it for this week.
Thanks for stopping by.
This is an open thread.
