Buds and Spring Flowers

This is what I was up to on Monday.
The sun was shining,
it was glorious,
sunny,
warm,
bright.

So,after reading up on the manual,
I took the new camera outside,
for a walk.

We didn't go far.
In the garden to begin with,
to take another look at the crocus I showed you on Sunday.
There they are,
still sitting in the brown grass.
But this time I used the macro facility.
Much better,
as I'm sure you'll agree.

A bit further afield,

towards the forest,

in the long grass,

and there are the wild flowers

(Wood Anemones I think).

Each morning when I go out

there are a few more.

Not so many of these yellow flowers,

no doubt from the Dandelion family.

Then there are the buds.
I don't recognise what it is though.

Couldn't resist taking a photo of the Little Yellow House.
Can you see a bird peeking out from the far side?
A Green Finch I think.

In the afternoon

I took a walk up the hill

with Mike.

Where there are always lovely views

no matter what the weather.

It had dulled over a little.

Then I noticed

how the Birch trees are coming into leaf more here.

So I took a photo,

just for that fact alone.

Then we took a walk back home.

And in the rough grass

I saw some of the first Daffodils,

Daffodils!

It's nearly May!
I wonder if there are any more,

hiding.

We'll have to wait and see.

Call back tomorrow

and see where we've got to,

the camera

and me.
