{Our Robinia pseudoacacia - Black Locust after the rain}

In April we did have still lots of rain, like at the end of March while we were in Arizona.
Not so positive for a lot of blossoms...
Our Robinia pseudoacacia - Black Locust after the rain...
Husband Pieter could make this photo in the afternoon on April 15.
Full of rain drops...
Funny thing was that the tree only had blossoms on one side!
Weeds alongside the creek grow very well in all the rain!
The neighboring tree is the Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold Yellow Box Elder
At the moment we suffer a severe drought...

  2. Dear Mariette,

    The white blossom is so pretty - I love white flowers.
    Hopefully you will have some rain soon to break the drought
    Enjoy the week

    1. Dearest Carolyn,
      Such type of blossoms are always pretty looking, like wisteria and such.
      We desperately need rain, some trees already look like they will die.
      Hugs,

      Looks similar to the wisterias and it is lovely for the time it blooms.

  4. Hello Mariette, Although rain can beat down the blossoms, I love walking in the yard or in nature after a rain, when there seems to be an overall calm, and everything is fresh and dripping from the recent shower.

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Yes, you are very right about that and it's especially for now a dream as we are having such a drought. Nature can be rough at times and we have to try to make the best out of it.
      Kindest regards,
      Mariette

  6. Mooie bloeiende boom, jammer dat het nu zo droog is, de natuur heeft wel wat water nodig.

    1. Beste Marianne,
      Ja, de verdeling van water over de gehele wereld is niet altijd gelijk... Wij zitten er echt om verlegen nu. Er zal weer veel kapot gaan.
      Liefs,

  7. Lieve Mariette,

    Prachtige bloesem draagt de Robinia, jammer dat de bloesemtijd maar van korte duur is en bij regen en wind is het nog sneller gedaan met de tere bloemblaadjes.
    Maar gelukkig heb je de foto's nog☺

    Fijn weekeind en lieve groet,Ger

    1. Lieve Ger,
      Ja, in dit geval hebben we geluk dat Pieter nog mooie foto's er van maakte na zo'n regenbui. We verlangen al weken naar echte regen weer.
      Liefs en ook een fijn weekeind.

  9. Liebe Mariette,
    das mit der Dürre habe ich über Zeitung mitbekommen. Schon manchmal nicht gut verteilt das Wetter. Hier regnet es den dritten Tag und bis unter 1000 Meter hat es Schnee gegeben zwischen 30 - 80 cm. Jetzt müssen wir ein paar Ausflüge verschieben, denn wir möchten ja nicht im Schnee den Frühling geniessen.
    Hoffe der Regen lässt bei euch nicht mehr lange auf sich warten.

    Herzlichst
    Julia

    1. Liebe Julia,
      Oh meine Güte was für ein Pech um Ausflüge verschieben zu müssen wegen dem Schnee! Fast Juni und dann so etwas. Hätten wir doch etwas davon in Regenform...
      Wir hoffen auch es kommt nicht zu spät!
      Liebe Grüsse,
      Mariette

  10. Your blossoms are very lovely. Looks like they do great in the rain. We have been having lots of rain this year, but it's got very dry since last week or so. We had a bit of shower and it was a relief! I hope some rain will move in your area, too. Have a wonderful day, Mariette!

    1. Chère Nathalie,
      Non, je ne savais pas que ces fleurs d'acacia peuvent être mangés comme des beignets. Merci de mentionner cela ; nous pouvons apprendrer les uns des autres.
