Looking Closer for Nature's Awakening

 

The scene is still that of Winter . 


Look closer to see the most intimate signs of Spring .





 Seven Choughs flew over my head in a ring formation ! It was just for a few surprising seconds as we walked across the cliff fields .


There were actually ten of them . I know these aren't great photos of them , but I was just happy to see that they are slowly increasing in number here .

                             Letting nature come to us today ! 
No walking today , as my favourite boy has tripped ,twisted and hurt his already poorly knee . He has to rest it . Hard for him , as he is such an impatient soul !  We are doing the R.I.C.E. thing . Rest. Ice. Compression . Elevation . Full English Breakfast , numerous cups of coffee and a hot water bottle to snuggle up with . 
We will have to book another shopping delivery . 
 I have to go now , bring in some wood for the fire . It is turning cold again here .

If you can , do get out and let nature lift your spirits !  🌼

    1. Hi Sue , yes there were actually ten of them , but this group of seven broke away from the others and I just happened to be watching the Choughs through the camera lens 😃

    1. It is a Robin , it is the gardener's friend , always hopping about close by while you are weeding or digging , hoping for an insect or earthworm . I'm so sorry Nancy . For some reason I haven't been getting notified of incoming comments...no idea why and only just found them all . Apologies to everyone in fact !
