Pics from a botanical park on the Normandy coast near Dieppe:







Wisteria already!







Some trees are leafed out:





Others are budding:





Now that's an attractive place to lounge on a bench:

















Small church hasn't burned down:





Thatched roofed-homes have iris bulbs on top in Normandy:





Timeless contryside scene





This reminds me of the road with the Nazgûl in the first LOTR film:





A valleuse is a short valley that leads down to the sea. They're the only way to reach the sea through the 150 km-long wall of white cliffs between Le Havre and Picardy.





Further up the valleuse





Neat farm











Sunset on the cliffs

in NYC, April 8-10. Sunset from Prospect Park



blooming street trees



budding bushes



Skyscrapers make easy to estimate cloud height. One World Trade Center is in that view. Cloud height just over 800 feet?



Prospect Park West. Chuck Schumer's (senate minority leader) home is about half a mile further along. His wife went to a lot of effort to oppose the bike lane.



still rather bare in the park



In Manhattan. Fanciest looking, or at least most ornate Marshall's & TJMaxx (discount clothing chain) in the country?



One World Trade Center not in the clouds





UHI helping leaf out

Warm but quite cloudy day. The last warm days have had their effect, the birches have small leaflets, broadleaved trees are slower to leaf.
I took this ones in the evening.





The poplar in the middle has also something.

Trondheim, Norway, today April 26th


The unseasonal warm end to April has given us summerlike-days with temps up to nearly 23°C / 73°F. Last 10 months have seen three all-time record highs broken at our airport (recording since 1946).




Yesterday evening sunset with hazy conditions from Sahara dust
