It's been a long time since I last saw a rainbow. Today, I managed to make this shot of where the rainbow ends :-)

It's been a great day and I've decided to post this photo on my blog - to bring some spring beauty into your daily life, as well :-)

I do believe that I have utterly spoilt the birds that live in our garden. Although the winter is gone and they have plenty of juicy worms and seeds to choose from in our garden, they still demand their seeds in the little bowl on my window. If I don't put it out, the birds literally bombard my window - they keep bumping with their beaks and tummies into the glass until I put the bowl out. So, today this chap decided to demonstrate his anger: he just stood there, stoically demanding his lunch. And, of course, he got it :-)

I've never liked jewelry in the traditional sense (golden necklaces, golden earrings, and all that other stuff). I've never seen much point in wearing it and I've never understood all those women who put just about every single golden, diamond, silver, or whatever other bracelet, necklace, ring, earrings and whatever else they have on and parade around like a Christmas tree with all the trimmings except for the Christmas lights (or maybe those were added, too?). I find it utterly pointless and it looks absolutely stupid, as well.

However, I've always liked cool-looking, hardcore stuff. Like leather wristbands, for example. I've always loved these things. When I was a kid, I once made myself a leather wristband from thin leather and with a button. However, ever since I first saw one of these in a TV series, I wanted to have one. I finally got it a few days ago. It's made of dark brown leather and it has two wrap-around straps that close with two metal buckles. I absolutely love it :-)

We have a bunch of big plastic bowls planted with all sorts of flowers in our garden. Today I saw that the crocuses in one bowl were preparing to bloom. So, since the weather is supposedly going to be horrible over the next couple of days (winds and snow), I decided to move the crocuses inside. I found them a nice place in the living room and, although the soil in the bowl was still completely frozen when I brought it in, the flowers opened up in a matter of minutes. Makes you smile right away :-)

After a period of lovely and sunny weather, today was just horrible - wet, cold, windy, and generally depressing. I hope that the weekend will be better! I can't wait to continue with my morning walks, catching the early sunrays and getting some nice tan! :-)
