Daffodill Opening -with Dewdrop (single click to enlarge).
Palmate Newt – About to be Relocated to Our Pond.
A Rhino Stone, Surely? (single click to see properly).
With all manner of other-than-human persons waking up and getting on with their Northern Hemisphere Spring business around me, I thought I’d better post a couple of seasonal images. Apparently the first word I said was ‘lellow’. The fragrance of Daffodils is almost as mesmerising as that golden yellow colour, if a bit more subtle. Although these are not the wild variety, I’m still excited by them every year. Its a bit on the cold side here today, so that little palmate newt was almost comatose. She’s now been moved to a much more suitable location, where a potential friend awaits. Toads have already been out in force on our local roads – perhaps responding to the full Moon, so it’ll be ‘all go’ for a few weeks now. The third image is of a being with an altogether different sense of time. This imposing individual looks irresistably rhinosceromorphic to me!
Spring Blessings 🙂

Beautiful moment capturing the sparkle on the dewdrop on the daffodils! I hope the newt is ok, and… impressive rhinoceros 🙂
Thanks Lorna. The newt will be fine, as will those we found last night when out toading :).
