After the long cold winter the weather changed all of a sudden from very cold to very warm for the time of year. The leafless trees exploded with young and fresh green colours. The forests I pass in the morning have all different colours green. You can still see through some trees, while others are opaque already. Green from bright to dark, with all kinds of brown tints of the trees that have not started their spring yet.
The grass turns from a flat darkish green to very fresh spring green. The grass shoulders beside the road are wide and beautiful. They are bordered with the forest on one side, a forest experimentation zone on the other. Further on the road the shoulders are bordered with a canal on one side and farmland on the other.
In the morning the dandelions are almost entirely closed. In the east are some clouds up to about two fingers above the horizon. The sun, still behind them, gives them streaks of pale pink.
The colours of the grass are still dark. The dandelions make small, barely visible little yellow spots in the dark green. The forest is still a dark green shade.
The sun rises above the clouds, setting them on fire, and every colour turns brighter. There are shades of pink everywhere.
When the sun rises the light turns into a warm yellow.
In the evening, when I return from work, the dandelions in the area I live in have all opened. It is a sunny day. The light is very bright. Millions of dandelions have turned the shoulders into yellow fields with a green undertone. The fields with the solitaire trees are beautiful. The dandelions surround the trees.
In the beginning of our village a large grass field has turned into a yellow fluffy carpet. The field is bordered by see-through trees with distinguishable branches. The branches have a fresh, young green colour. On the other side of the road the forest is starting a new growing season.
In the village most streets are bordered with flowering trees. The trees are entirely white, or a warm pink colour. The streets are covered with small white leaves.
On Queens Day, the 30th April, it is even more beautiful. A clear sky makes the sun shine in the streets with the flowering trees. The red-white-and-blue flags give even more colour to the flowering environment.
This is a beautiful time of year !
