Countryside views and birdsong

Hello Lovelies,

yesterday was a beautifully warm, sunny and calm day. Too rare and pretty to miss. The countryside was calling me.......

It feels like we have been waiting sooooo long for a day like this, with no wind , blue skys and green countryside ........

 suddenly everywhere is lush and alive........

The little Chaffinch was singing beautifully.......

and the  stream looked pretty in the sunshine........

 The brown of winter is almost all  gone.......

And the blossom is so pretty......

 This wonderful old ash tree caught my eye........

And I was very grateful for this time spent quietly enjoying the lovely countryside we are blessed with......

on the walk home I took, possibly, the last Daffodil photo of this year.......I don't think there have been many years when they have still been flowering in May......

Spring is so welcome every year, and it is especially sweet this year.On days like this I feel very lucky to be able to work part time, with days in the week I can do what I want with....of course there are errands and house work, but there is always an hour or so that  I can do as I please.....and for that I'm grateful.
