Picture(s) of the day....

Cherry blossom getting there - oddly the pink more than the white - most of the trees are both.
Freezing out there and alternating between brilliant sunshine, black skies, rain and hail.
Lovely!

Bonus French car!
There has been a 'stick' protruding from the ground all winter.
Suddenly:

It has leaves - and there is a smaller one near it.

Been told it may be an Ash seedling and to remove it post haste.
Will let it develop a bit and see what it might be then reduce it to ash as advised.

The Camelia flowered for the first time.

The tiny Olive that I got from my daughter in a pot and chucked into the garden when it outgrew the pot has taken over the corner.

No blosson for me I'm afraid but I did come across a lovely carpet this morning:

Own work

On my tree hunt I came across a rather attractive in a ghostly sort of a way old, I believe, elm tree:

Own work

Then I wandered on through the woods without any innovative spottings unless you count the lesser spotted MX3 hiding in the bushes:

Own work

When I reached it of course I realised it was simply my chosen steed for the day

The Bluebell Woods from last year are coming into bloom again, and they look like they will be vibrant with colour in a few more days. As I do not know if the woods are private property I could not go into them.

I ran past one of Paggers' prettier buildings this morning - Lovat Bank

What a fabulous house, Jim, right down (up) to the little extension behind the tower. The East wing, maybe...

[CitroJim]

It certainly is a gorgeous old building Chris Lucky those who have office space in it I say... Must be lovely to work there

A gorgeous sunrise over a misty Bury Field Common this morning

Shockingly cold for the time of year Many cars were covered in frost!
