Crocuses

Well, at least I don't have to dress up polystyrene heads today at 11:55 PM.

Just been for a little walk and came back with some photos of purple crocuses. Well and truly in bloom by now.



So small, delicate and pretty.

Signs before "first" signs of spring

Yesterday I said crocuses and daffodils are the first signs of spring, but I lied. I've forgotten to mention and photograph even earlier spring flowers: Snowdrops!



I've seen snowdrops here are there for the past week or two, but by now most of them have... errr - dropped. I only found a few that were still intact.



As I said yesterday, won't be long till daffodils and crocuses are in bloom everywhere.















Don't know what these buds are, but I thought they looked great.



Back on the river bank, Zebedee caught another bunny. This one didn't try to run away, though.



In the evening I went to London to see Aya and her friend. After a very nice dinner on Brick Lane, I couldn't walk past Spitalfields Market without stopping to take some photos.


















Must go and shoot in London some time soon again!

First signs of spring

Saw these daffs on the way to the local woods today. It won't be long now till the roads are lined with daffodils everywhere!



See, the frilly middle bit is there just about ready to come out.



The smaller variety - which, I learned from TV the other day, are endemic to Britain - are already in bloom in many places.



And of course crocuses... or is it croci... just about to bloom, as well.



Spring is almost here, and Zebedee is so excited he is just a blur.
