Port Soif Common

I love this time of year; all the plants are bursting back into life. The brown of winter slowly disappears from the landscape.

The lime green of new growth is everywhere.

I have taken this opportunity to practice with my new camera.

It is not an SLR but rather a Happy Snapper that will fit in my handbag.It is iridescent blue, the camera not my handbag.

I think this photo is my favourite of the day. The bluebells in Bluebell Wood will be open soon. They tend to bloom a few weeks after the bluebells on the common as they are in the shade of the wood as opposed to the open sun drenched common.

We will start our yearly pilgrimage to the wood next weekend; just so we don't miss them.
