Janey...

Magnolias bedecked in all their finery. The blue, blue sky...

Neighbour’s cherrytree waving dusky pink blossom years after she died.

Janey...

Spring, season of firsts... the too early bluebell surprises us

Tiny overnight raindrops jewelling delicate branches in the morning light.

Janey...
Suddenly St David's Day. Yellow daffodils smiling and nodding everywhere

Even in this cold the grass grows under moonlit skies.

Janey...
The pink flowering currant, first, always, to display its finery

Hellebores’ dusky pink heads now brighten our back door pots.

After the rain, bands of silver-blue sea and sky

Helen
Grey skies, bright catkins, then suddenly a cloud of insects!

Janey ...
First blackthorn, pale as a daisy,
shy in the hedgerow

Slanting sunlight through trees lights up water like a mirror.

Janey...

Drizzle, early morning,
a goldfinch in the hedgerow my reward

Helen...

Blue patches of sky, birds sing, the sun breaks through.
