Lazy wind

It was a lazy wind blowing, too lazy to go round so it goes straight through you. Although it was quite sunny the wind made it feel very cold. I was hoping to go to the beach but I chose the shelter of the woods instead.

The bluebells are beginning to peek up through the leaf litter promising a nice display in a couple of months time. At this time of year there is still quite a lot of light in the woods because the trees are still not in leaf.

It picked out the lichen on this dead branch rather nicely.

The snowdrops are looking really good just now.

And today I saw frog spawn. It looks as if it has been accumulating for 3 or 4 days. Unfortunately for the frogs this is not a particularly good place to spawn because it is a ditch and will dry out if there is no rain for a while.

Birds are singing and some are collecting material for nesting. The world is coming back to life.
