Red, Yellow and Blue

 Some colour-coordinated images from London trip to go with the 30 degree plus temperatures

Catkin Time

Beautiful sunny day here in Cambridgeshire today - temperature up to 12 degrees. With the very mild start to the year it is not surprising to see hazel catkins in full bloom. Ruby, one of our red setters had to get into the picture in the background. The lichens are developing well in our small woodland plantation - very strident yellow in the sunshine.

Yellow and Grey at Duxford

Rather a long gap since my last entry - I have been busy putting together a Blurb book of flower and landscape images from my eight trips to Wengen in Switzerland. This is finished at last and so time for an outing. We visited Duxford Air Museum as Phil always enjoys the airplanes and I was happy to have a go at the yellow and grey decor.

Catkin time

The Hazel catkins are in full 'bloom' with the small red female flowers still visible. The Alder female flowers are miniature versions of the old dry cones.
The Hazel bush by the brook in Toft is covered in catkins every year and glows golden. I tried a slow shutterspeed as the catkins blew in the wind.

M6 Services

Not sure quite what attracted me to this scene but crossed the bridge at the M6 services and felt this lonely sign sort of summed up the place.
