Yesterday I think was the first real day of spring this year here in Iceland. I went a small trip on my offroadbike, and usually we are not allowed to ride near this place, but I got there yesterday on a hardpacked snow, so there was no harm done. This old shack is in a place called Ólafsskarð (Ólafs-pass).

Springtime in the Cape Winelands as the green lushness exudes throughout the fields of grapes. This was one of the views from the famous Buitenverwachting estate as we had the most amazing lunch of local cuisine (and way to much red wine)
This beautiful farm on the east-facing slopes of the magnificent Constantiaberg and barely 12km from False Bay, originally formed part of the Constantia Estate, which was founded by Simon van der Stel, the first Governor of the new Dutch colony at the tip of Africa.
First sold as a 200 morgen sub-division to Cornelis Brink in 1773, Buitenverwachting changed hands all too often. And yet it flourished as a wine farm, due mainly to the 90 000 vines planted in 1825 by Ryk Arnoldus Cloete, brother of the famous Hendrik Cloete of Constantia.
From 1866, the fortunes of Buitenverwachting were inextricably linked to those of the Louw and Lategan families. One of the most colourful characters was Oom Danie Lategan, whose trademark was the freshly picked camelia he wore on his lapel every day. It was his daughter, Olivia Lategan, who was to forge the link between the Lategans and the Louws. Born at Buitenverwachting, she returned as mistress of the farm when she married George Louw.
Imbued with a sense of history, the Mueller family has retraced the roots of Buitenverwachting. The farm was lovingly restored to its former glory while extensive planting of the most selected of cultivars was initiated. The result was a maiden grape harvest of 100 tonnes - the first harvest the farm had seen in 30 years. An historic achievement that lived up to its name: Buitenverwachting - "Beyond Expectation".
Plenty of snow on Ben Lomond in the middle of April, but the trees are just starting to show some green. It's a great time of year.

Springtime in Maryland. The weathers gods are pissed! This is what happens when a bunch of Texas Cowpies lose the only weatherman who Lives in Town !
Taken on a walk along the coastal path from West Wittering to Itchenor, before an impromptu coffee with a friend. The best kind of morning :-)

The sights and smells of spring. Valencia oranges on average take fourteen to fifteen months to mature, so this time of year the trees will have both fruit and flowers.

Came across some odd springs in a box in the garage and thought..."I know what I can do with these"
