Aberdeen in Bloom

...

Dad had to see the lung specialists this Wednesday. That meant a trip through to Aberdeen for a three hour visit to the hospital while dad had various breathing tests and X rays. He's been a bit better every visit so they only want to see him again in six months time.

This is the first time any of us have been in Aberdeen at springtime. We were all amazed at how different it looked from our autumn/winter visits. Virtually every bit of bare land along the city streets was crammed full of daffodils.

It was a warm misty morning that slowly cleared into a glorious spring day.



You can still see it's misty here...



but starting to clear.







The flowering cherry trees were breath-taking too.
I got the chance to photograph this one at some traffic lights.



and a close up...



We finished our visit with ice cream at the beach front before heading back home. It was a very good day. :-)
