Evening light over Allestree Lake, something of a first this year. Sunshine a near clear blue sky and a warmth in the air. You can also see the growth literally bursting from the trees as you explore the Park and Woods. Daffodils are nearing the end of their reign but there is a mass of Bluebells to come. But I guess it is the greens and blues that left the biggest impression after what has been the first two real days of Spring.
My favourite Silver Birch has a head of red buds….the tulips are fading….the furry Pussy Willow is now producing light green leaves….Cheery Blossom is full of promise.

Aye, so do I. We have had almost 30º here the past two days. It’s really too much of a good thing. I am staying indoors on such days. Today is great again. About 17-18º with a bit of wind and sunshine and a light blue sky. Change comes tomorrow and next week. Back to 13º again. I am using sunblock. Find that it helps.
