Nature Walks in February

In between the gloomy grey days we’ve enjoyed some lovely sunshine this month and have gone out to walk in the local area.

We’ve done a little exploring and found a few little trodden paths between houses. Mostly we’ve found mud but as the month has gone by we’ve noticed more and more growth.

We’ve found snowdrops.

and a daisy – yeah!

(It’s the white splodge in the middle of the photo – I had to use zoom as it was in a garden and …..)

Wish I instantly knew what these flowers are? Buttercup? (It doesn’t look like the pictures in my books, but I’m reasonably sure it is in the Ranunculus family. )

More of the same? Different?

A few crocus – not many.

A lot more snow drops!

and these… I can’t even guess on this one. They are amazingly delicate and so pretty! (Another one NOT in my books!)

And these daffodils, making the most of the sun, are very close to blooming.

The bare trees are changing shape as the buds grow.

We’ve listened to the birds singing and getting very excited as they began to build or rebuild their nests.

And, the days are getting longer. It’s all good!

    Lovely! You’ve definitely got me even more ready to see the signs of Spring that are already evident there. We’re a little behind you but I hope to see the forsythia bushes behind the house in bloom soon!
    Thanks for the picture tour, I loved it :-) !
    Blessings, Julie

    Sarah, thanks for clicking over and commenting, I always enjoy seeing that you have.
    Yes, these days seem more evil and most disturbingly is that the church appears to be under attack with more of a vengance than we’ve seen in a long time. The experience that we’ve just gone through and had our spiritual eyes open to has definitely convinced me that the church is on the front lines. I believe we’re seeing the beginning of the “falling away” that is prophesied. Sad. But, I’m more determined to be grounded in Him and to teach my children the Word than ever!
    Blessings! Julie
