Glorious spring

It really is glorious - we have had nearly seven weeks without rain, and everything has sprouted. Most trees are wearing a splendid mantle of fresh green leaves.
The bluebells are rampant in our woods behind the house and everywhere else in the woods around. The scent is overpowering especially in the evening, and early morning. In fact the scent from blossoms everywhere is magical. Wish we could bottle it.
The Jellies just love running through the sun-dappled wood.



The wisteria was better than ever this year, and I took the Jellies out one midday, and got some really beautiful shots of a wisteria spilling over a garden wall along the River Wey. It was a cloudy afternoon but the pix are great. They are easily my most favourites of the early spring flowers.
