Life close to the Cathedral

Tulips gone

All the pink and white tulips from last week are gone.

Instead bright red pelargoniums are ready to dig their roots into sacred soil.

A few years ago one single pink pelargonium grew right in the middle of hundreds of red ones.

I love the difference.
And searched through those ready to be planted.

Now they are all adapted.
May be I should go back one night, dig out one of the reds and replace it with a pink, or a white?

I am not going to do that.
Of course I am not.

Still I love uniqueness 

 

And I love my cathedral.

Tulips

Because of a cold spring, the tulpis are still at their best.

The cathedral park in blue paint

Every year, when spring is about the arrive, The Creator packs his painbox and his brushes and take a walk in the cathedral park.

Playing hide and seek with birds and people, he paints the park blue.

Scilla blue.

Even the small details

Flowers around the cathedral in the summer.

If I was in charge of planting the cathedral flower baskets, I would put prayers into every seed.

Domkirka means The Cathedral 

The rose near the cathedral

 
Ever since I was a small girl I have watched this rose. From autumn, till winter, spring and finally the lovely blooming in summer.

 
Yesterday I walked over to the rose to get photos for my Trondheim through all Seasons blog, and as an extra delight got photos with both the rose and the cathedral.

One pink among the hundreds of red

 
Many years ago I discovered one pink tulip among the thousands of reds in the flower beds in front of the cathedral. Yesterday I found one pink granium among the hundreds of red.

Life close to the cathedral, that's my life.
