The Blackthorn is already coming into flower, and is looking lovely!
This early flowering tree provides a valuable source of nectar and pollen for bees in spring. Its foliage is a food plant for the caterpillars of many moths, including the lackey, magpie, common emerald, small eggar, swallow-tailed and yellow-tailed. It is also used by the black and brown hairstreak butterflies.
I spent most of today lolling around in bed feeling very rough following a lovely night out with my best friend yesterday. I'm clearly too old for this sort of thing now. The boys went for a walk down to Tynemouth and brought me a cake home - it's very pretty but I may have to wait a while to eat it if I want to be sure that it won't be coming straight back up - bleurgh!
Not really a lot to tell today. I took a different way home after work today because I brought a list of pictures I chose for a project to the customer. On the way there I have been rewarded with an awesome sunset above a wide, open field. It was a beautiful day today, freezing cold, but absolutely clear sky with just some "happy little clouds" …
I hope you like…(should you wish to) feel free to use it.
The original size is 1280 x 800 (mac screen) but I'll be happy to modify for more screen sizes…

My one-a-day mosaic from February 2014. A business trip to Pangbourne, the Brighton half Marathon, signs of Spring growth and a trip across the border to Dungeness
Photo taken in Everett, Snohomish County, Washington in February. For comparison, a GW Gull type bird in background. Note the difference in the "skirt" formed by the secondaries.
Shot and edited on the iPhone 4S. I never thought I would say this, but I actually think the iPhone has a decent camera for a phone. I also like the fact that it knows exactly where each photo is taken and with a lot of apps, I've been using it more than my regular camera.
One more shot of February I took last week. I was absent from here for a few days, and I am starting to catch up! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Happy Valentine's Day, Flickr Friends and warmest thanks for your taking time to visit my photostream, for your so-kind comments and most of all, the incredible inspiration and sense of wonder you give me with your captures - you put special joy in my days!
These winter flowers are like little jewels scattered through the park and neighbourhood gardens - a February bouquet, reminding us that spring's on the way, with even more blossoms!
Clockwise, from top left:

Pen and ink and digital colour and scans - the background and letters are from an old book. The usual model, posed with the shawl I usually keep over the tv, and a rolled up mat from the days of working with polymer clay.

Our February Daphne is a little confused - its usual flowering time is late March early April, not late December.
