Cherry blossom - Kirschblüte - Fioritura di ciliegi

We went right from winter into summer. April brought us record warm days. The cherry blossom has never been so early. I took the pictures last Saturday in Biel-Benken which is located about 7 miles from Basel downtown. I went for a two hours hike and almost got my first sunburn of the year. Time very well spent.

Die überdurchschnittlich warmen Apriltage brachten uns eine verfrühte Kirschblütenzeit. Die Fotos habe ich letzten Samstag oberhalb Biel-Benken in Baselland geschossen. Meine Zweistunden-Wanderung bescherte mir den ersten leichten Sonnenbrand. Es hat sich mehr als gelohnt.

Giorni d'aprile caldi superiori alla media ci presentano ciliegi in fioritura prima del tempo solito. Queste foto le ho fatte sabato scorso sopra Biel-Benken in Basilea campagna, ca. 10 kilometri fuori città. La gita di due ore mi causò la prima leggera scottatura. Ne valse la pena.
