Why show the difference? Because I got confused with these leaves when I identified the magnolia leaves as pear leaves on my WW entry last week! Thanks to feefifoto who left a comment asking if it was magnolia leaves so I ran out to the backyard and to my horror, it was! So I checked the set of photos that I took and indeed, they were both in the same set.
Thanks to Feefifoto, now I know how they look like up close ha ha! Things that I take for granted, really.
NOTE: My apology to my fellow wordless wednesday‘ers..I simply can’t stay wordless for this post because of the joy that I only experience in spring time…I just need to share it!
After a hard day’s work there’s nothing more relaxing than to simply spread a picnic cloth on the ground then lay (lie, whichever you prefer) flat on my back on top of it and stare at the beautiful blue sky which we’re now enjoying in this part of the world. Though temperature isn’t scorching (20C max) it’s enough to make us want to stay outside our homes after being hostaged by low temperature for many months. We’re like ants running everywhere like locos during springtime.
I invited my husband to join me yesterday and asked him if he’d like to eat his dinner (sandwiches) outside as well, he said yes…so we did. After our light dinner we just stayed there and before I knew it I heard him snoring softly beside me. Ah, poor hardworking man, go right ahead..snore as long as you want.
While he was snoring, I started counting planes that were flying in the sky. It’s unbelievable how busy the sky gets. At one point I was even intensely watching 2 planes that seemed would collide on air because from my point of view, it really looked just like that! I also started to enjoy watching birds chasing each other, flying around like they’re truly enjoying what this season gives.
Just above my head were these young leaves from the pear tree. Still light green but in a few days time, they’ll turn into darker shade and hopefully, this tree will produce pears for me to cook.
I love Spring time!

note: the real deal, Stonehenge is in the county of Wiltshire, about eight miles north of Salisbury in England.
