It's always a joy to see the crocuses flowering in Roberts Park, reminding us that Spring is just around the corner. We'll probably get another burst of winter before the better weather arrives, but the days are getting longer, the sun - when it shines - is warmer and that wonderful seasonal progression is underway.
Elsewhere there are a few dwarf daffodils in bloom, though the larger ones usually flower a bit later.
One of the trees in the park had this extraordinary froth of bright yellow: blossom and / or pollen, I'm not really sure. Either way, it looks like the tree pollen hay fever season will be off to a great start! Atishoo!
On the nature reserve there is, however, little sign yet of new leaves...
and along the park promenade, the bandstand is by far the brightest thing, apart from that blue, blue sky.
Gorgeous display. I really must start going to the Botanic Gardens in Cambridge again.
ReplyDeleteThe early flowers I had spotted here are now covered under deep snow with more of it to come next week.
ReplyDeleteOh, those crocuses!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I'm noting here are the longer days. A cold one here.
Beautiful shots...and I also wonder what that yellow tree is, reminds me of forsythia bushes, but I've never seen a tree from that.
