Intermission 22d

Its Spring and a flurry of colour…………….

A blaze of yellow
Glorious Tulips
Primrose
Dark to Black Tulips are not everyones cup of tea but the edges on these are fantastic
this flowering alpine green leaves really set off the miniature pink and yellow flowers
More Pink – this time a spikey Tulip

And even the trees are beginning to bud

ok so this is a mediterranean pine tree – after 15 years in a pot – grown from seed you get these neat little cones – tree fruit if you like.

Intermission 21h That was Spring!

Last year was a “good growing” spring. This year it has not been so good. The sun shone, it was cold and warm and even hot. It was wet and dry. Maybe it was simply the temperatures were usually a few degrees down on average……

The sky was indeed very blue on some days – and cloudless. The object is no a UFO but a seagull (wings tight in) on its way to bomb a buzzard would you believe!

It was just last year the weather components came in the right order and this year they didn’t.

Still summer beckons – the male Bullfinch is one of Britains really impressively colourful birds – if you can get them close to you. The photo does not do justice to him.

You win some you lose some as they say – certainly the case with Spring 2021 so maybe that bullfinch will herald a nice summer.

Lets say goodbye to Spring 2021 with some lovely clouds.

A Northumberland vista

Alnmouth Beach in May is still a sight to behold if you catch a sunny day. And that was something we could not do in 2020.

Intermission 21f – What a Spring!

Spring 2021 has sprung some surprises.

fantastic sunsets under clear skies during the dry period…..

Deserted York riverside in super bright sun……

The Emperor Constantine is unmoved despite his backdrop being cluttered as the Minster undergoes necessary repairs. I bet Rome and Constantinople had their fair share of busy scaffolding contractors.

Spring flowers always includes tulips ………

More sunshine lights up this medieval building in an empty York.
