For this week's edition of Ruby Tuesday, Mary suggested us to go "green" in honour of St. Patrick's day. I'm more than happy to oblige. I think I've got just the thing.
This is the very first ladybug I've seen this Spring, ain't she cute?

Those of you who might think I live in a tropical forest I'll have to disappoint.
These were not taken on some tropical location.
I live in Belgium.
The pictures were taken at the botanical garden in Antwerp.
These are merely tiny new sprouts on some kind of a a shrub.
I forgot to look what the name of the bush was, I'm sorry.
All I was thinking was that it would make a great Ruby Tuesday subject!
But I did remember to take a look at this one ...
Because of it's blossoms ...
I thought they were gorgeous.
I think I may want to go back in a week or two to have another look?

I'm joining Macro Monday again today.
This past weekend I have made so many close ups with the first signs of Spring
it would be a real shame not to use them ...
Enjoy ....
Look for more Macro Monday pictures at Lisa's Chaos.

Let me take you with me ...
There are of course the Spring flowers at the local market.
We could have a drink or even eat outside again ...
The street artists are back ...
More colourful than ever it seems.
Or not so colourful ...
But he's handsome, isn't he?
Or ...
I could take you to the botanical garden,
and we could look for signs of Spring there ...
Not much ... at first sight?
There would of course be some Spring cleaning going on ...
New sprouts .

Hamamelis blossoming.
