365 pictures - Day 19

This little Japanese acer in our back garden is unfurling its leaves now. When they first open, they're bright orange and so soft you can barely feel them. The variety is called "Orange Dream".

365 pictures - Day 18

It's bluebell season, and they're everywhere! I found this clump in the hedge by our doctors surgery. I can't think that this will be the last bluebell picture this season.

365 pictures - Day 17

I took this picture in a car park. Gorgeous blackthorn bushes all along the boundary, shining against a bright blue sky. I think the blackthorns have flowered for longer than usual this year. 

365 pictures - Day 16

I knew I'd do it eventually - take the picture and forget to post it. Can't remember everything. 
Here it is. Lime flowers. These are blossoming on all the lime trees right now, and they're fresh and green and frothy.

365 pictures - Day 15

I love the blossom on this tree. It's an apple tree, possibly called Everest. I love the variation in the pink between the buds and the flowers, all set off by the green leaves. 
I took this picture at Hillers Farm Shop garden. One of my favourite places.

365 pictures- Day 14

A kind of abstract close up today. I just love the shape of the ripples in this bark. There are lots of new shoots pushing out down the trunk too.

365 pictures - Day 13

Having just received my P60 and realised how much (little) I earned in this last year, here are some beautiful light daffodils at one of my schools. Just to cheer me up. 😁
