Tuesday treats

Another lovely sunny day today.  The leaf buds on the trees just get fatter and fatter, and now they are fit to burst.  The early mornings have such a wonderful, positive vibe.  It's so good to be outside at the start of a new day - always worth the effort, even when the air is still very cold and the duvet feels so snug and warm!  

 These are lime leaves, making their 2015 debut!
Today I noticed that the wood sorrel, which has planted itself into the wall around our outside boiler, was in flower.  What a magical little plant.
And finally, the last treat of the day, an orange tip butterfly, Anthocharis cardamines, on an aubretia - giving a great colour combination!

Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
