Another sign of spring? by if1

Another sign of spring?

350 - Today started dull, overcast and grey. It took a long time for the sun to appear, and even when it did, it was rather weak and watery.

After lunch I had a walk around the lake on Clifton Moor, and day by day more signs of spring are appearing. Several types of catkin can now be seen, and I loved the colour of these.

It was cool out this afternoon, and the forecast is for colder weather later in the week, but longer days and new growth say that spring is on its way.
Lovely colours.

It's a sad shot...your obvious march towards spring heralds darker, colder days down here. Great shot.

Thank you Tony - It's hard to tell if spring is early - weather now has gone back to cold and grey with overnight frosts, so spring has had a bit of a setback! Certainly most springs now tend to be earlier than they were 10-15 years ago.

Sorry Nat - I didn't mean to remind you that autumn is on the way there, but I'm sure you can understand why I'm looking forward to spring!

@kdimagery

Thank you Kd - spring is on it's way for you too! Our weather has now turned very cold and dull again, so our spring is a little delayed.
