Spring is around the corner....

Out walking yesterday felt like Spring is just around the corner, it was dry, the birds singing, and the buds on the trees just beginning to bud. Wildlife is stirring... Sun was out and catching the leaves and trees. Lovely splashes of colour, russet tones to red shades... with fungi and moss adding texture.. We passed a Sunflower field looking very sorry for itself, but I am sure the seeds were enjoyed by the birds. A vine waiting to be pruned ready for a crop of grapes, possibly for making the local Pineau.
