1. On the way down to Castle Clough, Hapton Quarry in the distance, the stream that flows off the quarry ends up flowing through the clough.
2. The top end of the Clough, that's the dry bit over, the next bit is water all the way.
3. The sun is shining through the new leaves.
4. So time to play at balancing stones.
5. The sun shining through Anemones.
6. Wild Garlic (Ransomes) just budding up, but smell very strong when you walk close to them.
7. Some signs of putting the water to use, but what, I have no idea.
8. Wood Sorrel, a nice flower when you get down and look, often overlooked.
9. An unfurling fern frond basking in the sun.
10. Almost out of the clough, a bridge walked over without noticing it.



A separate item about karma, I don't check it as often as I should and have just checked, and noticed a few people have submitted karma to myself, apologise for not responding to the persons who posted in a timely fashion, so a thank you to all who gave me the Karma. I must try harder.

In the backyard is a Magnolia tree that I bought my dad for his birthday some 25 years ago.
He watched it grow for 2 years then he died. It never flowered while he was alive.
The Magnolia flowered on the first anniversary of his death...and had just one blossom on it.
I took this picture today. It is now a magnificent tree...and every time I see it in full bloom I think of my dad.

What a difference a day makes... we're back into winter wonderland here! It's not unusual for us to have an April snowstorm, but hopefully its effects won't last too long. Here's today's shot of my little blue flower (yes, I think it is scilla, thank you davemac).

Some real beauties here, davemac. I remember the smell of the wild garlic from my childhood ramblings.

A few genuine wows in there - 3 & 4 plus the closeups of flowers and the fern.
I keep wanting to give Karma but it doesn't let me most of the time as it's mainly for this thread and the posters are only so many... :)
