Signs of spring

It has been unusually dry over the last few weeks - only a little dew overnight to give the plants some moisture.

However the plants seem to be quite resilient - producing the odd flower and forming buds; and the birds are getting more active.

Nature knows that spring is not so far away.

  1. wish I could say we are seeing signs of autumn here, but we are in the middle of the heat-baked middle of summer dormancy ... the cool green-ness of your iPhoneography is a sight for sore eyes!
