the first one of the year

ladybird looking a bit drowsy, still trying to hibernate, one of the markers of Spring which we are meant to record

two snowdrops and a crocus

a few flower photos to keep us on blog until things liven up once more

St David's day

not our native daffodils, but a celebration of St David's day anyway at the entrance to Khyl Cober, a little housing estate on the way into the village

a very small visitor

a wren, posing for a quick portrait before getting on with whatever it is doing ...eating insects or nesting?

primroses

primroses have been adding a splash of yellow for some time. And today, in the milder weather, the first celandines have appeared

at the end of the road

by some happy chance there was gold at the end of the lane this evening.
