The last of the snow - for now!

The beautiful blue Tyne, taken on the only sunny day last week. We took advantage of the lovely day and went for a walk.

A beautiful river the Tyne, MiniMoon. Very good fly fishing. That stretch looks very fishy!

The hellebores are out!
Sorry, it's not a great photo but the best I could do without actually lying down in a puddle!

Some cheerful flowers!

My snowdrops. Shame I didn't clear all the autumn leaves

I havent either Gymstagran

A mossy Somerset wall from a few years ago.

Lovely flowers Lisagran

Keep up the walks Ellianne

Snowdrops peeking through in one of my pots. The garden is a mess at the moment as we removed a couple of trees that were becoming a nuisance, demolished a summerhouse and built a larger shed, replaced a gate and repaired some fencing. Then the tip closed before all the debris could be cleared.

Lots of fish Greyduster. Just beyond the bridge is a weir with a fish pass. We often see the salmon leaping as they swim upstream.
Here's a view fron the other side of the bridge.

Now I’ve got total fish envy!??

I’d really been missing enjoying everyone’s photos but hadn’t noticed the thread had started again must pay more attention!
It’s all gone now but a couple of snowy ones from last week.
Thanks for getting us going again. Ellianne

A very different day out there today. The sea foam almost looked like snow!

Rainy morning at Tynemouth

Tynemouth.... the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten!

Hyacinth emerging....

Greyduster Yes!?

I liked Casdon's cobwebs. This one was on our little apple tree.

Did somebody mention fish? !!

Well you’re not going to find many of those swimming up the Tyne (I hope)!!

Little Iris just coming up in pots

Yes I hope not too Greyduster!
A trip to an aquarium a few years ago.
I wish I could watch them from a cage underwater, but this is the next best thing.

Spring is on it's way lisagran

Here's a river in full flow after the rains, all the rainwater will be pouring down from the hills and mountains. If you look closely at the second photo you will see a seagull rafting down the river on some twigs, they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

I should have added that I hope no-one on here is affected by the floods.

Two Amaryllis which should have flowered over Christmas.
I had them in the boiler room to encourage them to flower but they took their own sweet time!

And some bright scented daffs.
