9. Wet, and ready for home.
10. Still wet, and even more ready for home.

3. Lungwort, all Mercer Park.

4.Foxhill Bank, cowslips.
5. Before.
6. After.
7. Another Cherry, they are bursting out all over the place, that's what the wife says about me.
8. Marsh Marigold, closed as its raining.
9. Cherry getting wet.
10. another wet cherry..............................space left to insert your own punchline.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great Shots again Dave

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thanks, I did get wet on the last outing though.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Great photos Dave -love the cowslips especially, quite a rare find. Glad to see spring is moving along over there. Here April is living up to it's name and we are getting wet through!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Spring has started but slowly, There are a lot of the early cherries flowering, the large double types are just colouring up. I am waiting for the bluebells to start so I can re-visit all my woodland walks.

It is the same here with the rain, but it is showers rather that an all day event.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Today in Pictures, a lot of stuff starting to flower at ground level, so I walked around Spring Wood like Quasimodo, not to help with the photos, I just like doing it.

1. Coltsfoot.
2. Last years seed head.
3. Its a Wood anemene...a Wood Anemmany.....a Wood Anamemamy.....A White flower.
4. Another white flower...........(wood anemone)
5. Cowslips.
6. Its a Bluebell.
7. A fierce looking fern frond.
8. I think I should think of heading down the hill.
9. The Larch.
10. I don't know why (possibly) but Lambs come running over to see Bob, and have done at a few other locations.
