Hidden in a dusty bed of last year’s dried leaves and this year’s new shoots of grass, I found this little blue egg, and no nest in sight in the tree above me.

A few days ago, I saw the first marsh marigold in bloom. There were a lot of buds, so by now there should be more flowers.

I saw the burdock, but after a few minutes I forgot them, and when I tried to get a shot of the marsh marigold I backed up, and suddenly remembered the burdock seeds, because they were stuck to my tshirt and pants, and they left me with itchy scratches which lasted a few days. I would have been wiser to wear thick jeans and a jacket.
