Bursting buds

Thank you to all of you who filled in the feedback survey. If more of you woud like to do so, more input is always welcome. You can find it in my last post here.

Meanwhile, as you can see, buds really are bursting out everywhere now. I love these ones fighting their way out through a gnarled old tree trunk.

Or these – which I have just spent half an hour trying to identify and failed. (Note to self – MUST download that app.)

Or this new drooping horse chestnut leaf caught in yesterday’s early morning sun.

Or even some blossom – a japonica caught in the evening light in Waterlow Park.

And for those who want something more active…

A talking walk from a few days ago. I am afraid my phone ran out of puff  three quarters of the way through so you need to go on to video 2 to complete it.
