As the buds burst on the trees and shrubs, you are treated to all the magnificent spring colours that are in natures pallet.
The spring blossom looks fantastic at the moment. It is the Dol Hanami festival
As the days lengthen and warm, the natural world is waking from its winter slumbers. Soon the summer visitors will start to arrive.
Any time from late January is blossom time in Dol. But another stunning tree in flower at this time of year is the Mimosa, Acacia dealbata
Dol is bursting into spring. Everywhere there are the spring flowers, early insects and buds swelling on plants.
By late January, there is considerable warmth in the sun. We also now have more than an hour of sunlight each day.
The afternoon sun shines on Vrankovića Dvor, Dol and also on snow on Svete Jure, the highest point of the Dinaric Alps, 50 km distant.
Even in winter we can see rainbows, as a fast moving rain storm clears, to be followed by sunshine.
I am alive to the natural world in which I live, observing the day to day changes as the seasons inexorably march forwards.
