In 2026, the blossoms of trees and shrubs are as bad as possible! More or less, I was able to capture only the cherry. I am glad that in a new way, cloudy diffused light has given the flowering shrub a snow–white appearance.

In general and briefly, the cherry blossomed best of all, then a little bird cherry...then a week-long heat of 30 degrees killed all the blooms.

The flowers had just begun to bloom, as all the petals immediately shriveled from the scorching sun, and then fell off from the winds and heavy rains.

I managed to photograph bird cherry trees somewhere, and apple trees too...however, only at night.

It's lilac season and there's a lot of it, but mostly white.

This year, just a little bit and briefly: a few cherry blossoms, apple trees, lilacs, very few dandelions were captured.

After very warm weather, very severe cold weather came...

It turned out to be a strange and multifaceted spring, especially my beloved May.

Overall, I expected more from May, but it's my own fault...I haven't traveled much. Although, there were some very bright moments! But that's not here, and it's another time.

I don't know what summer will be like, but for now, thunderstorms are stealing my attention, mostly at night.

May the summer be wet and stormy!

I don't want arid heat in any way...
