1. Fields of Bluebells, but not many flowering yet.

3. Spring Lambs springing about.
4. That's a lot of Pussy Willows, in fact its Pussy Galore.
5. Fern fronds.
6. Marsh Marigolds on the edge of a stream.
7. Cowslips, last year small clumps, this year they have trebled.
8. Hawthorn in the hedgerow, looking just like the early Cherries blooms.
9. River Calder, in the shadow of the viaduct.
10. Look what I found..........and so early in the year.
Promise of things to come, davemac! The bluebells that is. I particularly like the shots of the unfurling fern and the hawthorn. I have ferns like that in my little shady garden patch. They spread themselves vigorously (translation: I'm always pulling them up!).
I seem to remember a faint scent from hawthorn. Am I right, or is it fanciful imagining?
