Greyduster Your sheep must have been the inspiration for Thomas Joseph's pictures!

Squiffy ?.

A little family on the Thames in Oxford this morning.

Out of all the bulbs I grow, this is the one I look forward to most - a real miniature.

My clematis.

Correction Should say
My camellia!!

Interesting cliff erosion here.
I wasn't quite that close to the edge, it's the angle!

Not grown by me, grown by Lidl

Bluebell woods at the pretty N Trust Grey’s Court. Now looking forward to the 190 yo wisteria coming into flower.

A new kit on the block. Looks like trouble!

Aldom Those Lidl daffs lasted for ages.

What a beautiful cat Ellianne What is its name?

When you're dog tired and your eyes won't stay open and it's only 10 am.

Herons look completely out of place in a tree.

I wish you could all smell this beautiful white lilac in my garden this evening

I think what amazes me, as an amateur photographer, is that a lot of the pictures on this thread almost seem 3D. You feel like you could put your hand out and touch them.

Or smell them!

That’s a lovely lilac May7. When we were out on Wednesday we passed a hawthorn bush in full flower and though the smell could never match a lilac, it took me straight back to my early childhood in an instant, walking in the lanes with my dad. I did take a photo but it doesn’t seem to reproduce well in small format.

A host of pretty bluebells.

Sing a song of May time, sing a song of spring. Flowers are in their beauty, birds are on the wing.

Oooh yes the hawthorn bushes look lovely when they are in flower. Takes me back to my childhood too .
All to often our council cut them back and we dont see them in abundance anymore
