More Spring Yellow…..

Celandine….a true Spring indicator

6.4-CEL

 

Easter Monday arrived with a blue sky and bright warming sun. Its arrival also encouraged the Celandine, that have been waiting patiently for a couple of weeks, to literally burst upon the scene…each delicate flower head a beacon of hope that Spring is on the way.

The seasonal weather continues to tease us with just occasional tasters of what is to come. But it has been slow, the buds on the trees have slowly swollen but few have burst, blossom is spasmodic displays.  Whilst the weather is that little bit warmer and even tempted the odd fisherman to try his luck, the Lake still looks bare and cold.
