It looks like you have spent this spring day very well. There is a quiet peace reating on this landscape that is balm to the soul.
ReplyDeleteLove that shot of the bright green leaves!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, bright green spring walk. It's easy to imagine the sounds and smells.
ReplyDeleteLooks a lovely place on a lovely day. I'm still trying to internally decide if I heard sedge warblers or a rather hesitant grasshopper warbler reeling at RSPB Langford the other day
ReplyDeleteWish I could hear the cuckoo John, we so seldom hear one here.
ReplyDeleteIs that white blossom blackthorn or cherry? Whichever - it is exquisite.
Very nice. I feel like I could hear them myself. Looks like a beautiful spring day there.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful bright day for a walk among the birds and fantastic greenery there.
ReplyDeleteWow, you had a marvellous afternoon!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful spot. I'd be blissed out there, though sadly I wouldn't hear the warblers. I love the trees at this point in the year, covered in that hazy bright green.
ReplyDeleteHappy springtime pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous area John .... oh! to be out walking surrounded by pretty bird calls.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful John.. you know I don't think I've ever heard a real live cuckoo :)
ReplyDeleteYou have captures the colours of spring beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I don't think I would recognize a single one of those birds. I realized recently that there are a great many birds -- like cuckoos, nightingales, mockingbirds -- that are familiar names to me but I have no idea what they look like, what environment they live in, or what their song is.
ReplyDeleteThis is my type of place!
ReplyDeleteLove this place !!
