Spring is boinging all over the place now!
Spring is finally well and truly springing – wherever you look, spring is just boinging all over the place! Here are some shots of flowers and new leaves. I think (hope) I’ve IDed them all correctly… When I was trying to check my ID of the pussy willow buds/catkins, a google search took me straight to one of my favourite bloggers Mike of Wilden Marsh. It’s always gratifying when you’re on the first page of google results for something, so Well Done Mike! 😉

Thanks, Lucy. Am I famous?
You are, Mike! 😀
A lovely peep at spring in Surrey. I’ll be over in less then a week but I don’t think I’ll be seeing much of the countryside as I will be over for the birth of a grandchild.
Ooh how exciting Amelia! I hope that everything goes smoothly and that you enjoy meeting your grandchild. I’m sure you’ll still get the chance to absorb a bit of the English spring though – it’s delightfully ‘in your face’ at the moment!
Spring might have been late this year but what a display to make up for it! Great photos!
It’s as though nature is rushing to cram all of spring into a shorter time – extra intense!
Perfect spring pics… and not a lamb in sight
😀 I did get some bunny shots in recently though!
