I went out on the spur of the moment on Sunday past to enjoy a walk and take in a movie. The weather here has been alternately cold, windy or rainy and we've had very few sunny days. Sunday was an exception so I took advantage of the break in the weather.
As I went about I snapped a few photos of some of the early blossoms I passed.
I thought this wall of bamboo looked lovely. |
Having experienced bamboo plants in my own garden I think it is better to plant bamboo in containers or they'll overtake the surroundings spaces. I feel sorry for the neighbours. |
This evergreen tree has obviously been here a long while too but I thought it looked so majestic. |
I took several shots of this tree so you could see just how large it is... |
... It positively dwarfs the vehicles. |
This was the weather on the walk home. It had turned chilly. I had a brisk walk. |
I thoroughly enjoyed my little outing.
If you are wondering whether you can still donate to assist in little Kigen's medical mission, the answer is "yes". We not know yet how long the hospital stay will be and the medications that will be needed. All of which in turn affects the food and lodgings required for everyone on the mission.
Whatever donation you can make will surely help.

I went to Oxford with blogger Anne on Monday and I see spring is popping up all over here as well. We removed a bamboo last year, it was a major exercise!! Take care. Diane x
I throughly enjoyed "our" walk. Funny how I don't remember the movie...hehehe. I hope to see it soon, as I saw the trailer and it looks like it would be good.
blessings,

Diane, it's great when we see and feel Spring in the air, isn't it? So glad you were able to meet with your blogger friend. That's awesome.
Jilly, I'm glad you enjoyed our walk. Next time don't fall asleep during the movie ;-) You'll love it if you get a chance to see it again.
Lovely snaps

Hey..quick note to say I'll be back to read this hopefully tomorrow when I can take my time-:)
KP, I'm hoping you're fine. I saw on the news today that the tsunami had little adverse impact on Hawaii. Thank God!
Hi Penny..this was a pleasent walk and glad you enjoyed yourself on your outing. Certain types of bamboo won't spread.. My son has one but plans on moving..(have fun transplanting) lol)) I really like them and the photos of the evergreens. The last one of the mountains is lovely!!
Ya it was lovely to see some signs of spring. It's been pouring rain or rainy and windy at the same time ever since! I do get out a little here and there but it is only for errands as the weather isn't really for walking right now. I do love bamboo also but I don't think I'll be planting it any time soon ;-)
