… I just want to choose something upbeat to bring a smile on this slightly murky Wednesday.
Shall I choose this little clump of aconites, found on yesterday’s Virtual Dog Walk …?
… or this cheery little sparrow?
I can’t make up my mind …

Nice one. I’d go for the bird, anytime.

I know what you mean. But aconites are such plucky little things, battling through the frozen soil to bring us cheer.

That’s what I thought too. Murky here as well, but the birds are in full voice, so that’s good.

I was playing with my new phone. Are aconites a thing in Portugal?

Not at all! Oxalis are like a carpet instead 🙂 🙂

So long as you have carpets of something. That’s the important bit.

Buy one, get one free …..what’s not to like? Two beautiful photos and you got really close so we can see lots of detail and feel the perkiness of both bird and flower. Great!

Love the aconites. I planted some in the green a few years ago, but they have struggled to take hold. I have two this year. As for sparrows I have dozens on the feeders every day!

I think these are flowers that like to make their own choices. There is a large lawn near us that’s completely covered, and they seem to find nooks and crannies in the woods too.

Lesser Celandines are the ones that are happy under my tree, despite digging loads out last year I have noticed the leaves are appearing once again.

Seriously you wouldn’t want them – they spread like crazy! Though I do like their bright shiny faces at the end of winter.
