Spring has sprung!

It was such a beautiful Spring day today, I decided to go to my allotment. It's only a 15 minute walk and there was a wonderful explosion of colour along the way. This Forsythia against the backdrop of the clear blue sky was stunning.


Then along where the houses are on a higher level, were these Muscari and errrmm....not sure of the white flowers. Any idea?

There is one house that has Aubretia tumbling over the wall....I have photographed this on many occasions over the years. It never fails to impress me.


I used to use a panoramic camera and I would fill the aperture full of the flowers, then use them for making my own letters on layouts. The effect was pretty.

Then, just as I was about to walk away, so I caught sight of this Peacock butterfly.

Another sure sign that Spring is on it's way. I hope you all had a beautiful Spring day in your little part of the world.
Toots for now and thank you for sharing my nature walk with me.
