A Village Affair

In my village, the blossom on the trees usually appears around this time. It's quite a common sight seeing people taking photos of them as the trees are a lovely sight when they are in full bloom. This year is no exception.

I'm quite lucky as I live right across the street, so whichever window I look out of, I can see the trees.

It was far too windy to take many close up shots. The blossom is only around for a couple of weeks and one strong gust of wind will bring all the petals down onto the floor, leaving it in a carpet of pink or white. The weather is warm tomorrow so I can try again at some point during the day.

I went a little further afield to see the lovely yellow of the rapeseed. The smell of it was quite sweet, like a honeysuckle smell.

It would have been better with nice blue sky but as per usual the weather changed quickly as the dark clouds passed over and it started to rain.

Walking around my village lido, some of the ducks were all sleeping on the side, a couple on one leg. It's good to see the village coming alive even though the ducks are pacing themselves!
