COOMBE WOOD - A WALK IN THE SUN

Frost melting

New shoots

The lily-of-the-valley-scent of the Mahonia flowers once again stopped me in my tracks. I stood and breathed deeply and enjoyed the moment while a pair of robins sang to each other nearby.

Close up of Mahonia flowers

Magnolia buds

Snowdrops dancing in the breeze

Crocuses shining like purple silk in the sun

Hydrangea buds developing fast

Sweet scented shrub - I still don't know what it is

The flowers on this mystery shrub are so tiny but the air is filled with their perfume and as I turn the corner near them I often catch their scent before I remember they're there.

First signs of the tulips

Light shimmering on the pond behind an old flower head 

Whispy bullrush seeds 

Tiny fragile moss with red stems and little green tops

Thank you for joining me
