Spring blooming Heather.

In a different post a while ago I was showing yellow Ulex flowers. The bushes are thick and covered in flowers.

In the very same spot, there are those spring blooming Erica bushes. They both grow next to each other under tall pines. The yellow Ulex is still dominant one, but the lilac and dark pink clouds of Erica flowers are just irresistible!

I took my spray bottle with me this time to be able to catch some of the drops. The flowers are tiny, though bigger than from the autumn blooming Heather. The bushes also grow much bigger and I have seen some over 1m tall.

If it wasn't for a bit of a cloudy day (and the water spraying) I would probably be able to catch some insects feeding on the nectar. They attract bees, bumblebees, flies, butterflies and moths.

Another time I guess :)

So no real mist? :D

Nice drops, at the first glance I thought it was ice, but then realized that water drops were in question.

Busted :p

Someone here on Hive I think ( can't remember who) was freezing flowers in ice cubes and taking photos. That looked so nice! I have to try that one day.

Beautiful !

Thank you :)

Extremely beautiful. Nature is truly amazing 🌸

Thanks a lot. I agree :)

Great shots, as usual, imma have to really figure out this photomotagraphy stuff.

You point and you shoot.
And it is either way rubbish or not :D
