Crisis Crossing

Woke up to pink clouds blue skies, airplanes with their vapour trails making a criss crossing pattern in the sky.
Honeysuckle is beginning to come into leaf .

So Awesome

Seeing an owl flying overhead looking for its prey, so silent ,so awesome, so privileged.

Spring is coming

Just noticed the snowdrops . The crocuses are being to show . Won’t be long and the daffodils and tulips will be out . Spring is coming .

Cold wet windy

Watching the rain going into the water butt, gurgling  away. Cold wet and windy but a joy to be out in it.

Sleet.

Watching the sleet come down at twilight causing huge puddles in turn they run into each other’s causing to become rivers.
Mentioned the bird of prey? Bird to a friend and they said that they saw a bird hovering  over the field near were she lives which isn’t far from me, so she keeping her binoculars handy and hopes to see it again.

Bird of Prey?

Saw a new bird sitting in the apple tree . At first I thought it was a pigeon but a slightly closer look no it wasn’t. It was not a black bird or crow or raven. It looked liked a smallish bird of prey but in my neck of the woods we don’t seem to have these sort of birds here. I didn’t want to move as I would of scared it off. Now that’s a mystery that needs to be solved.
The blue tits are nesting in the apple tree it’s quite secluded so they should be safe.

Winter Morning

Still an icy high wind but a beautiful blue sky and the Sun is out , a wonderful winters morning.
The huge beech tree is surrounded by a ring of toadstools. Snowdrops are beginning to show in the garden whether they are late or early it doesn’t matter lovely to see.
