Spring is sprung...

...the grass is riz.
A foggy, drippy start after an awful lot of rain and hail yesterday but by the time I got out with Monty spring was in the air. It's a brief respite apparently with some more icy winds and 'weather fronts' on the way (I don't believe that's a good thing) but the blossom doesn't know that and is starting to break through.
Three good things:
1. The dishwasher has finally been fixed and this time the new part didn't immediately blow up.
2. Mitcham's Corner ugly one way system has been thoroughly yarn bombed and looks great.
3. My new winter coat was definitely worth buying even in March - more cold weather to come and it's heaven.

Beautiful blossom and you've been lucky to see the sun today. Could someone tell the weather that it's spring please?

[Kate]

Pretty shot

[Sarah Bremner]

This is lovely! We are a long way behind but will get there!

[Judith Johnson]

I wonder where the birdies is? Yes, it did feel like spring today - after the fog had lifted. Gorgeous spring shot.

[Alison Tomlin]

Hmm not sure we were living in the same country today. This is lovely but hang on to that coat.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oooh, a place that actually looks like spring. Beautiful shot.

[Maggiemae]

funny how the blossom never takes any notice of the weather! Nice to see it!

[Rachel Withey]

Beautiful blossom. Like the focus in this shot.

[Lisa Stein]

Love your focus in this shot. Beautiful spring scene.

[Janna E.]

Beautiful point of view and depth of field and such a sight for sore eyes. More rain forecasted for us tomorrow as well - I'm so sick and tired of it!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Lets focus on the blossom and forget the weather reports! This is a wonderful shot Judith, love the focus upon the subject.

[Helene]

Oh yeahhh :-) love your composition

[bernadette mcelligott]

Lovely spring shot, the weather here is great but we had a hail shower earlier that was deafening. I hope the frost stays away from those lovely blossems

[Mair]

These trees are very delicate looking and pretty this time of the year. Noticed a few today (from the car!). Lovely composition.

[Matt Clendon]

It's so good to see the blossom returning again.

[Peter de Graaff]

So where is the birdies then

[Humphrey Hippo]

Lovely to see it finally springing. :)

[Judith Greenwood]

@peterdegraaff The bird is on the wing - but I missed him!

[Kathy Burzynski]

Now that is my kind of photo - I CAN;T wait for spring - it's getting closer but no buds on trees yet - we have snow on the ground and in the air today

[Judith Greenwood]

@myhrhelper Well it's all going to fall apart again later in the week but a day is nice!

[Peggy Sirk]

Oh, look at that lovely scene. That's a definite promise of warm days to come. And in the meantime, enjoy your new coat!

[Jennifer C]

yep definitely looks like a spring scene! love that sunshine!

[Nic L Taylor]

Spring Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase lovely river shot

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

A superb shot Judith. So very pretty and so uplifting!

[Terry]

I want to be there now.

[Jo]

A lovely shot of what looks like a nice day, nothing like mine, in every way..... boiler is broken again, freezing!!

[Graham Harcombe]

Now that looks more like it. I've just commented on a photo showing a fresh fall of snow in Aberdeen. Glad to see that spring is arriving with you.

[Anwan]

I love this scene of spring tranquility! Very envious of your flowers, and your new coat! Non-exploding dishwashers are something to be grateful for too :)

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Well it certainly looks like Spring, hope they don't have colds today after sitting on that wet grass, glad to hear the dishwasher is behaving!

[JH]

Lovely spring scene. I thought for one horrible minute that it might have sprung for us yesterday morning, but thankfully by lunchtime the incessant icy rain had set in.

[Arefin]

oh beautiful scene captured! love the composition and the focus on those blossoms!

[Judith Greenwood]

@jewelsandbinoculars Phew! ;0)

[Juliette Packham]

sun? yesterday? i was in the wrong place obviously!! so nice to sit outside for a change...looking forward to losing the coat and scarf!!

[Jane Pittenger]

The woman sitting onthe grass have just the right look of relaxing in the sun. Too bad it's so fickle at the moment

[Laura Thornton]

love the arch

[Miley]

Great composition!

[Louise]

Wow check out that blossom. I have a view of the same kind of tree and snapped it the other day - it's so bare, way behind your tree. We're a long way from Spring here at the moment!

Wonderful framing. Oh it does look so encouraging.

[Kathy A]

I think I can see Spring coming in this shot.
