Wild Garlic

You can tell Spring is in full swing when the wild garlic appears!

Mind you it was taken on 7th May, 2015. It will be winter for many people for five long years.

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten..

"And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins."
Algernon Charles Swinburne  (1837–1909)
Atalanta in Calydon (1865)

My favourite is the White Blossom. It looks to me as though it is falling from the sky onto the tree.

A Parched Summer's Day in the Middle of Spring...

On Wednesday 15th April, 2015 the temperature here reached about 25°, which is high in England's Summer let alone Spring! With little rain this month, the ground was dry and parched:

A heart made from two horseshoes...
(This horseshoe photo was actually taken a few days later but matched the theme, so I sneaked it in!)

A Wooden Heart
Elvis Presley sang that he didn't have a wooden heart.. Perhaps he could have had this one... 

A Boy and his Shadow

A perfect story to go with the last picture is http://www.stuartstories.com/stories/boyandshadow.html. Enjoy!
