Something on the way



















Cane shadows play on corrugated fences. The apple tree is covered in buds. Winter garlic looks bright in the sun, happy after all that the weather has thrown at it. The last few leeks are ready to head to the pan. After weeding the herb bed, it's warm enough to sit and take time to have tea and decide where to plant the onions this time.

Just one day of blue in between many like this beautifully moody one -



















But look. Something is definitely on the way.

I just added 3 new tracks to my soundcloud page if anyone fancies having a listen.

You describe the beginnings of Spring in such a natural revealing way...just look at those daffodil buds! Enjoy the leeks.

Hi Mary Ann. Thanks. I guess I've been watching and waiting for it, dying to be able to sit outside just that bit longer, urging Spring to show!!

What a stunning photograph to start your post today. I will follow the link to listen to your music; a real treat for me. Thank you Annie.

lovely images and words Annie - it's been so changeable here in the south west but like you there are signs of spring (even summer!) and the days are getting longer and the light changing - happy days!

Annie said...

Hi Leslie. Pleased you liked the photo. That's the fence around my allotment having fun creating wiggles in the sun. Hope you find a track you enjoy.

Hi Rosie. Thanks so much. Yes, the days are really getting longer now, but we've had so many dark days that the bright ones really do shine out.

Spring is very early here. It's been in the 70's and the trees are blooming a month early.
I love that moody grey, and I do fancy having a listen to your new songs, so here I go!

Hi Sharmon. Pleased Spring is in evidence for you!! It's a wonderful time of year. I do love the contrast between the dark days and the bright ones and the return of birdsong.
