LITTLE ARTY JOURNEYS . . . LOOKING CLOSER, SEEING DEEPER.

Tuesday 28 February 2017

Bright cold morning walk (Coombe Wood)

The frost had mostly melted when I got to Coombe Wood for a shorter than usual walk. 

The waterfall is working and the pond is looking clearer again. 

Little areas of frost remained on some of the plants that were still in the shade.

 Blue sky reflecting in the pond. 

Miniature daffodils. 

Sunlight on new shoots.

 Leaves lit up by the bright sun. 

 Seed pods. 


Primroses.

Miniature tulips - just leaves at the moment. 

 Sunlit leaves. 

 Crocuses. 

 Looking across the neat prairie beds. 

Tufty grasses swayed in a slight breeze. 

Scented corner - three different plants filling the air with their perfume. Tiny white flowers (not shown here), little pink flowers behind the seat

and mahonias. 


 Drifts of daffodils with crocuses beginning to peep through. 


Snowdrops lining the pathway near the yew arch.

Azaleas. 

Snowdrop crescent around a tree with an outer circle of crocuses coming up.


 The gardener was continuing to mulch the prarie beds between the neatly renewed bark paths.

Heather.

Cascades of creamy bells. 


Tiny buds. 

 Sparkling water drops on twigs. 

Showers of little bells, different from the earlier ones.

An abundance of buds. 

 Snowdrops against red acer stems. 

Big clumps of hellebores. 



 Magnolia buds in the sunshine. 

 Iris shoots. 

Another barrow of mulch heading across to the prairie beds.

More new shoots in the sunshine. 

A last look at the pond before leaving.

Thank you very much for joining me.

    1. Yes - lovely to see the signs of spring - lovely to think that the empty looking flower beds will be overflowing with life in a while.
