Spring Happening!
And the first hints of green unfurling on Wenlock’s Linden Walk:
This week Ann-Christine at Lens-Artists asks us to show her creativity.
And we are so ready.
Lovely to revisit your Linden walk at such a special time of year! I did yoga under my lime tree today because I needed its light shade. I noticed the buds bursting open. Also how the branches and twigs fan out so elegantly. This tree forms a perfect natural yurt for the hot summer days!
Lime trees are so special, aren’t they. The perfect place for some yoga too.
Hoŵ lovely, Tish!
Many thanks, Sue.
😊😊
Brilliant creativity, Tish – hard to beat nature!
I thought so too 🙂
Nothing beats Mother Nature! Brilliant, Tish.
I thought you’d see it that way, Ann-Christine 🙂
😊
Luscious is the word that springs to mind for that first shot Tish. Your world is looking almost exactly opposite mine at the moment with leaves browning and falling everywhere.
Su – loves the “springs to mind” ha
Ha!
Lime tree leaves are spectacularly juicy. And your description is also evocative, Su – our spring coalescing with your autumn. That feels very deep rooted somehow.
Spring delight!
Delight indeed, Yvette.
🙂
No finer artist than nature 🙂 🙂 (unless you count Tish Farrell 🙂 )
Can’t beat Mother Nature. Clever response, Tish! 🙂
Thank you, Amy.
That gorgeous, newly sprung green is wonderful to see, especially with the contrasting pink of the bud outer, still there. What a lovely place to walk too, Tish, I bet the trees cast such amazing shadows & fluttering light as you walk through there 😍
Absolutely, Debbie. It is a brilliant place to wander every minute of the year. And when the lime tree blossom is at full throttle, quite transporting.
Yay spring Tish. Mother Nature’s best creation
My thoughts exactly, Tina.
I agree on both counts
this response was in response to RESTLESSJO’s response.
That is very sweet of you, Mak.
It is lovely when the world turns green again, though it has been doing that for the last month down here. I think that February heat has something to do with it!
The oaks have been unfurling for quite a few weeks though only in their bronze stage, but the limes have been way behind until a couple of days ago. More green haze today.
It was in Ludlow that I realised that many trees, including the limes, don’t start to unfurl until May.
The warm spell has obviously fooled the Linden Walk into thinking it was May. Noticably cooler this evening though.
Blink, and they’ve grown another inch! 😀
They did!
So pretty!
Lovely green 🙂
Almost good enough to eat 🙂
Absolutely magical!
Nothing like it, is there 🙂
It’s nothing but a miracle, the spring.
A miracle, definitely it is, Otto.
Spring is so wonderfully vibrant!
It whooshes in – all that green.
Spring is back. at long last. How lovely.
It is indeed lovely. Mzuri mzuri. Though gone a bit chilly here again.
Moto hapana right? I forgot what cold is in Swahili. 😬
baridi, I think
Ndiyo Memsahib, you are very right. Mzuri sana! 🙂
(Hats off)
So exciting – not only cos of the vibrant new life but winter is on its way out and all the possibilities of summer are ahead! Enjoy the lovely spring and all its promises!
So happy to find this little hint of spring on your blog to cheer me up on yet another day so cluttered with sad news.
We have to hang on to such things – the solace of spring, the natural world still coming up with the goods despite our carelessness.
I love these photos! So delightful
