It seems we are all sharing the beauty of spring just lately! I meant to post this a week ago, but somehow the days just escaped me. Better late than never, I suppose. This is spring watch in my garden.

"Beech spotted like a rout with the separate shadows of its young leaves... Leaf-strewn ground... beech mast under beeches; beech leaves 9 inches deep drifted against felled tree." Richard Jefferies, 1883 (Sussex)

2009

Another perfect day...


Horse chestnuts with huge white blossoms - candles, indeed! - raggedy white flowers growing amongst the lush green grass that's everywhere now, and the sun on everything!

2010



Rather grey-skied all day, but also touching on warm with it - a wee bit muggy, almost, I hope it's not going to be one of those summers! Dramatic clouds this eveing, though - and are those green leaves I see on Smaller Tree Across the Road?!
