Spring

Everything in the garden has responded to the warm sunshine and rain. My partner took this photograph of our Rowan on 31 March.....

.... I took this photograph today, 3 April.

Acer Palmatum 'Suminagashi' buds

My next door neighbour has a beautiful plum tree in her garden. I can see it from my bedroom window and it's one of the highlights of Spring.

The birds are gathering nesting material from the garden. This cheeky pigeon has finally worked out how to get the fat out of the coconut shell on the Viburnum. His beak is covered in fat.
