Spring….. Enjoy the moment
Take Time
The tranquil River Wye, Derbyshire
Take time to enjoy these moments of Spring… a time when the slow morph into early summer begins.
Spring sunshine, new growth as the temperatures gradually increases.
Enjoy the spring moments that come your way….. but as always….
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other

A Spring Timepiece……
Hawthorn Beck, Borrowdale, Cumbria
The progress of Spring can be ‘ticked off’ by a succession of seasonal markers. Snowdrops, Daffodils, Tulips, Bluebells, a stream of differing Blossoms….. then we know that Spring is near its climax when Blossom starts to drape the Hawthorn bushes.
Some years springs progress is slow and measured, others it comes as a rush.
Whatever the Spring you are enjoying…..

Not a bad way to start the weekend….
Saturday, sunshine and a warm breeze. Bluebells where a key feature in the mornings walk, they just added that special spring touch. The location was South Derbyshire and Calke woods. Rather fine well-established Oak Trees, with Beech and Chestnut, even some Pine for added variety. Wildflowers and Herbs starting to make their mark on spring, and Bird Song everywhere. A morning full of promise…that actually fulfilled its promise..
Nor would we dream of leaving Calke Woods without paying our respects to the ancient “Old Man of Calke”… this grand old Oak, well over a 1000 years has survived another winter, ready and able to join in the Spring renaissance.
Not a bad start to the weekend…. but fun over its back to the gardening 🙂
Relaxing, out and about, or gardening, as always……
Please Remember ….

A Unique Green……
The River Derwent, Darley Abbey, Derbyshire
Once the first flush of spring has passed, we are as if by magic, overwhelmed with an abundance of new leaves on the trees.
But for me, it is the unique green that adds to the spectacle….. They even call it Spring Green, all bright and in a variety of subtle variations. The Spring Green only lasts till the start of summer when the greens start to darken into their own distinct shades of green.
Until summer comes, I will indulge in the brilliance of Springs Greens palette 🎨
It is the weekend, they do seem to come around quicker these days, so enjoy and whatever you are doing
Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
