Winter is over! (In theory)

In London, the Spring or Vernal Equinox is on

Tuesday, 20 March 2018 at 16:15. In the southern hemisphere it will be the opposite season - the Autumnal Equinox.

It marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator, the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's Equator. Day and Night are approximately equal all over the world at this time. (Equinox means equal night)

Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

SPRING GARDEN FLOWER

Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

What better way to enjoy Spring than to eat the blossoms. Takumar 200/3.5

I rose this morning early as usual, and went to my desk.

But it’s spring,

and the thrush is in the woods,

somewhere in the twirled branches, and he is singing.

And so, now, I am standing by the open door.

And now I am stepping down onto the grass.

I am touching a few leaves.

I am noticing the way the yellow butterflies

move together, in a twinkling cloud, over the field.

And I am thinking: maybe just looking and listening

is the real work.

Maybe the world, without us,

is the real poem.

More spring collection of happiness.

Spring flowers to make us rid Winter out!!!!

Maybe not today quite yet, but the signs are there. Birds are very active. The elusive and ever so quick long-tailed tit with a sweet background. Stunning little birds. Just look at its yellow eyliner!

People were suntanning outside even though it's only mid-March. New buds growing along a wall decided to pop out of the ground. My own textures added.

The violet blossoms are there ...but I'm sure like me, you had to rest your eyes on this old beauty first!

Taking a little spring break from my city shots to post everything blooming right now...I just couldn't resist!! :))
