Spring is in the air.

Intended today to head for the pond to see if there was any frogs there spawning.

Looking for interesting things to photograph along the way. There was a profusion of snowdrops on the bank. As i had posted earlier a lot of them, decided this time just the one.

Spring is in the air.

Got to the pond where the frogs go to spawn, and noticed that there was some very fresh spawn. Unfortunately there were no frogs around while i was there. Bit of a shame that i had never seen any.

Also while i was there a dog was wading through the pond, which was a shame. The person was not aware that there was frog spawn in the pond.

This is the first wild primroses that i have seen so far this year. Just the two flowers. Did notice a couple more flowering along the bank.

Along The Lanes

Last years oak apples caught my eye as they were in a semi circle.

Once this years growth comes through the cycle will begin all over again. Nature dont stand still, is going on all of the time, no matter the season.

Along The Lanes

Walking country lanes can throw up all sorts of surprises. This ram had his little harem of ewes with him. By the look of them, and how clean they are, would suggest they are either show or special breeding stock. Lovely looking animals i must say.

They took off up the field after the first photo, but luckily still stayed in view. Which in turn gave me a second opportunity to get a photo. The sky gives a pleasant backdrop to this photo.

Along The Lanes

Had a period of sunshine today, so made the most of it to walk the lanes.

On the bird front was not a lot to be seen, but other things to see.

This moss caught my eye, as it was very lush. The wet weather certainly did some good here.

Down to a small country lane, is a lovely walk at the best of times. Down the bottom i came across these little gems. Snowdrops in the winter sun. Sure was a sight to behold. They covered the bank up to the hedge. It was lovely to see.
