Horse Chestnut leaf bud

My good friend Pete tells me it's the first day of spring tomorrow and today I noticed the first green in the hedgerows. Hooray! Saw this leaf bud on my afternoon walk and couldn't resist taking a picture.

@masai It's the spring equinox in the Uk tomorrow Tina. Interesting that your first day of spring is so much earlier.

I think we can say it is now Springtime.
