1. Hawthorn bushes are dotted around the area covered in blossom, giving them the appearance of a covering of snow. Plus when you get close a very strong "lily of the valley" perfume.
2. Its been a while since I have seen Bistort.
3. If there is a wet bit, I am stood in it.
4. Ransoms are not as spent as at other locations.
5. Plus the Bluebells are still performing here.
6. Red Campion sat above the largest drift of Forget me nots I have seen for some time.
7. Looking the length of the site.
8. There doesn't appear to be another soul around the site.
9. Perhaps I should go as well.
10. The Bracken on the left are just sending up fronds, the next time I return they will have smothered out a lot of other plants.

Spring over here in southern Ontario has been one of extremes. Late starting, then coming on like gangbusters many of us were fooled into planting our annuals early. Me included! Then came frost, followed by bouts of 30 degree heat, followed by more frost. Then drought, then deluges of rain. Still, the display of blossoms was wonderful, and I managed to immerse myself as much as I could.

Last week I went up to Ottawa (a good six hour drive) with my 89 year old aunt to visit my mother and sister. I meant to get some shots there, but dealing with the 'battling grannies' left me too exhausted :(

I'll post shots over the next couple of days until I'm caught up.
