Spring has come once again and bird songs flow from tree branches soon to turn green. If one looks up they might spot a squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) or goldcrest (Regulus regulus). In the city park pond a coot (Fulica atra) has found a proper stick for his nest. This spring a pair of goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) has also come for a visit to the park pond to perform their courtship.

This spring the photographer got a different capture challenge. "Take a photo of two flowers as you were to present it to a love interest," it read. How do one take such a picture? Also, what kind of flowers would a love interest like? Those questions were pondered upon a walk.

This search started in a grove west of Lund's station. Here we find blue flowers of striped squill (Puschkinia scilloides) and Scilla grown across the ground. These flowers hang low to the ground and to capture them one must go down to their level. From there the search continues in the city park where there are plenty of planted flowers. Since the park flowers are not wild grown it can be hard to distinguish the species, however in the bunch cherry blossoms (Prunus) and wild daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) are easy to recognize.

Since no appropriate flower has been found for the challenge the search continues to Lund's North cemetery with a quick stop at Paradis for some photos of cherry blossom.

Once in the graveyard, on the ground next to a ladybug (Coccinellid) there was a chess flower (Fritillaria meleagris), and with that the photo task could be completed.
