We're into late Spring!
Spring has Sprung!
I always feel something good is about to happen when it gets to Spring.
Everything is so full of life waiting to burst out into the open after lying dormant. It never ceases to amaze me how - despite what chaos and disorder seems to be going on around us if you're paying any attention to it - that, when Spring arrives, everything seems to be renewed and re-born and is cleaner and fresher. It reminds me that life still goes on in all it's glory; that unseen, reassuring force behind everything in life constantly creating things anew.
I'm starting to feel like I'm expanding again after being huddled away in Winter. I'm going outside more, tending to our garden, observing the little lives around us, like the wren which has nested in the eaves above my shed door, watching the beautiful, dark green, velvety leaves of the kale unfurling each day, the blossom opening up and brighter colours emerging as things warm up. Seeing the smiles of neighbours too!
I went out each day to take a photo of the blossom on mum’s little miniature weeping Cherry Blossom tree in her front garden. Each stage is beautiful as the flowers gently unfold.
Watching the evening set in at the Filey Dams as the birds fly home to roost.
late spring has arrived!
I’m writing this a little later on in the Springtime.
It's certainly been quite a hot Springtime up here in Yorkshire! Still, it's very chilly in the mornings and evening and through night time.
Me and mum enjoyed going to some local dams and sit in the bird hide's to watch the sun set and the birds flying in on the evening to rest. We have lots of geese and visiting Canada geese. There are so many ducklings and goslings and other babies bobbing about at the moment - it's such a wonderful sight.
Here's a photo of mum making a little video, she looked so cute in her pink coat!
