The sun was finally out today yesterday, so I went for a stroll,
camera in hand...looking for a hint of Spring.
I can hear Spring...as the birds are very busy...courting...nesting.
In fact all the birds I spied are in 'pairs'...so cute...they've all hooked up!
Our robin has a girlfriend so hopefully they will be nesting
in our front garden again this year.
And, although I haven't spotted him, our resident squirrel has been around
as there are walnut shells all over our garden...he's been digging up his dinner!
But there is a definite lack of colour...yes the buds are swelling on some branches
and the bulbs are shooting up all over the place...
but in my garden at least...no colour.
So off I went....
...snowdrops...but that's winter...
...beautiful green fields, but no flowers...
...hello, wait a minute...there's one...
...hopeful...a window box...
...half open...
...trying hard..
...in the church grounds...
...finally some purple...
I think another week might do it...stay tuned!
I think you're right. Everything feels poised on the cusp of bursting, doesn't it? Our first daffodil opened a couple of days ago. Not fully but enough to be able to take in its beautiful frangrance. Mmmm....

They'll be a beautiful colour explosion... and look at all that lush, lush green. It's very brown here at the moment... we have a brief period of Spring and then everything starts to turn brown again because of the heat... There's no green, like the green, green grass of home! Lx
