Intermission 23c

This Winter was wet and is now dry – it has been sometimes cold but the overwhelming feeling is it is another mild winter – famous last words as Spring is not yet with us and it can still snow and freeze well into April………

Flood – natural – its concentration made by human hands.

Fog – The flood plain of the River Ouse – ideal for fog, mist and interesting skies…………

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.

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 21e: Hello Spring?

I started this post in early March – its now May and Spring still feels like late winter.

What better way to start spring than say hello to some newcomers.

This time last year I posted about these youngsters parents

I think this moth was not sure whether to stay or go back in the shed – it was just so cold.

Spring has been somewhat reluctant what with very cool temperatures although the sun has shone most days.

At least the sunsets have been good.
