Sunday started with clear skies and temperatures of minus 4 degrees so there was still ice around when we walked around Stanpit Marsh near Christchurch. Lovely large clumps of March Marigolds plus a few species of birds and even one hoverfly.

Using Legacy Telephoto Lens
While clearing out the loft, we found an old 135 Takumar lens and so I decided to attach it with a suitable M42 mount to my Fuji. It is regarded as one of the best telephoto lenses and used at f3.5 aperture gives lovely 'soft' images and muted colours. Perfect for a misty morning in the wood.

Toft Wood Spring Update
The trees and bushes are just beginning to come into leaf and bloom on my local walk around Toft wood and fields. The Blackthorn and Willow have been out for a couple of weeks and now the Ash and other trees and bushes are showing signs of life.

Hardwick Wood Spring flowers
The spring flowers are well advanced in Hardwick Wood this year, including the Oxlips though the dry conditions mean they are pretty stunted.

Yearly Markers
Every year around March 21st, I record the flowers open in our garden to get a comparison with previous years. As everything is very advanced this year, I thought I would do one now. I will do it in a month's time to make the actual date comparisons.
