Spring won't be long.

A beautiful sunset and lighter evenings. It won't be long and spring will be here.
The snow now has completely gone, but it was quite ferocious when it came down.

A block of nests?

Dark green ivy with cream & green streaks,very dark clusters of berries against the brick wall.
A very small bit of blue sky sandwiched between two very dark grey clouds.
Five nests high up in a tree. A block of nests?
Yes the snow did come, a sprinkling, then it went.

Blackbird in a hurry.

The indoor & outdoor hyacinths are doing well. Still have got one lone daffodil in the front garden, but the others won't be long and they will be through.
Saw a blackbird scurry across the fence, looked liked that he was in a hurry.

Presence known.

Two seagulls flying overhead squawking to each other,making their presence known.
After a few mild calm days, the cold and wet have returned, along with the wind which is quite strong.

Daisies & hyacinths.

Had the bonus of a late afternoon sunshine while I had a walk. Saw daisies growing on a lawn and a hedge with plenty of orange berries.
The hyacinths I got the other day are growing strongly,it won't be long and they will be in flower.

Concrete jungle.

A magpie came to close for comfort, when driving along.
Driving from the countryside to a concrete jungle, at first look it shocks you, seeing nothing but tower blocks, blocks of flats, hardly anything green. Then I opened my eyes , a lot of flats had window boxes on the balconies , in the spring and summer it must look lovely. Then there was a huge park behind the flats and there were trees planted in between  the flats .
Learnt my lesson,open my eyes take a good look around even in concrete jungles there is beauty, never judge by the first look.
