There may be signs of spring here in Shropshire, but the wind is still perishing cold. It’s reminding me of a wind-blown winter’s visit to Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey, where the sea-gale found every chink in one’s protective layers. Even so, it was a fine place to be: racing waves and whipped up grasses.

Brrrr! I can feel the chill from here …
And have you got your own chill up north too. After writing my post I ventured to the allotment where, to my surprise, the cold wind was a degree or two less vicious than yesterday. Still blustery and dull though.
It’s not at all bad really. Bright sunshine helps.
Lovely that you’re having sunshine.
Looks even colder in B&W, Tish, which was probably your evil intent. I really like that last shot.
Thanks, Janet. I think I was trying out my new camera’s monochrome setting when I took the photos. But yes, they do seem to add to the chilliness.
The wind is perishing.
Yesterday in Ironbridge it was almost too biting to be outside in. And all around was flood scoured too, though at least the river was back in its bed.
Oh Tish, I like your perspective on all your photos. I just adore your last one though 😀 😀
Thanks very much, Cee. So happy you like these 🙂
I agree with your other readers/commenters. There is something special about that last photo.
Thanks, Thom. I remember I was really pleased when I spotted that wireless fence post among the marram grass. There’s something about it…
Brrrr
And the same goes for this morning in Shropshire. Even the garden daffs are looking shivery.
Oh dear
Reblogged this on Hutts Ultra Blogging World.
Cheers, Pete.
Spectacular views. Wonderful photos. But I’m pretty sure that it’s a little too chilly for me
I’m sure it would be far too chilly for you, I.J. It was almost too chilly for me 🙂
Great black and white images – so much texture and atmosphere to them. We had a chilly wind down here to at the start of the week but it’s moderated now so I hope it warms up around your way too soon.
Your warming wishes are most welcome, Sarah. And thanks for the nice comments on the photos.
Chilly winds are nipping at our toes here as well. 🙂 … at the moment Spring appears to consist of one week (roughly) of blue skies and bitterly cold, alternating with one week-ish of rain and not-so-cold.
I’m sure it will buck up soon 🙂
Yeah, just in time for the summer heatwaves! 😀 … actually this Spring is forecast to be colder and longer than average – whatever average means these days. 🙂 – which I’m very happy about actually. ZGive me the cold any day. 🙂
Magnificent images, Tish! The first one is my favorite.
Thank you, Amy 🙂
Very nice B&W’s Memsahib. 👏🏻
(Why does B&W feel colder?)
That’s a good question, Brian. Though I am very partial to it, chilliness or no.
For once I will favour partiality. 😉
Good man!
