Life goes on.

Let Spring Begin!
There was a lot of small-bird activity in the garden yesterday. Here are two of the pictures I managed to take (through the window, I’m afraid, so not as sharp as I would have liked).
Pairs
Two pairs of mandarin ducks out for a late-afternoon paddle. The males seem to be guarding (hiding?) the females.
A closer look …
(They were careful to hide behind some branches!)
Jackdaw
Here’s a picture of a beautiful jackdaw I saw a few months ago at a motorway service station. What is it thinking?
Witch Hazel
How can it be so long since I last posted? Already, the darkest days of the year have passed, making way for tentative signs of spring.
I saw this witch hazel last weekend when we went for a rare family stroll in the park. Beautiful wisps and shreds of yellow, and a surprisingly strong, sweet fragrance.
Butterfly on Bluebell
Some Things I Missed…
Such a late spring.
Grey, brown and black.
For eternity?
Then:
Everything seemed to happen at once!
I hope to post more pictures from my garden, and from the local park, during the rest of the week.
