Misty Mornings and Sunny Days

Hello Lovelies, 

we have been enjoying some gorgeously warm weather here this week. The days have often started of quiet foggy. I love this sort of morning....when you can tell the day is going to turn out sunny, and the mist is just an enjoyable prelude........

I love the closed in feeling of the blurred distance...........

And the way the familiar looks so different...........

I love finding cobwebs............

Covered in jewels..............

All the fresh green buds were glistening with dew..........

And the footpath disappeared just a few yards in front of me........

Of course I knew exactly what lie ahead...........

Though it was hard to spot the residents of this field...........

Ah, there is the highland cow, enjoying a morning scratch........

Along the roadside the daffodils looked like a rays of sunshine in the muted tones.........

And my favourite church looked as welcoming as ever............

I walk through the wet grass and smile at the Violas.........

I'm checking the progress of the wild garlic...........

 Lots of beautiful fresh foliage, but no flowers yet.............

In contrast the afternoons have been warm and sunny.......

In our garden the lungwort and the hyacinths are flowering............

And the bees are buzzing..............

Yesterday afternoon I was walking again ( got to keep adding those miles :0)   ) when spotted a new arrival in the cows field............

A calf.........

so sweet............

And in the warmth of the afternoon I was tempted to sit on the grass for the first time this year..........

 It's something I love to do on a warm day....and this was a WARM DAY :0)

It also gives a wonderfully different point of view...........

And a close encounter with the daisies :0)

This warm spell may not last...O.K........... WILL NOT LAST ....but it's been a joy and the landscape has turned green practically overnight.............

Yesterday evening  eldest and I were outside again....enjoying the warmth and the sunset.

I stopped to RECORD the lovely song of the Chaffinch that we are listening to at the moment.

I think the mackerel sky  probably means this good weather will break soon............

 All the more reason to get outdoors and enjoy it while we can

Edited to add....Thank you to my kind  commenter Claire, who pointed out my "bee" is actually a Bee Fly I thought it looked like a different sort of bee to the ones I usually see. Isn't blogland great for learning something new.
