Spring

Really warm today, 10°C in the shade, 20°C in the sun, and fairly windy, all of which means the snow is melting fast.
Here is a classic Swedish scene, about a kilometer from home. The Swedish red house, with white corners and white barge boards. 
The snow has retreated to the edge of the field. Winter is a silent time, but though you'll have to take my word for it, the air now is full of the sounds of spring - birdsong competing with water trickling down the fields or gurgling in the small streams.
The bamboo pole at the front of the image, marking the edge of the road, is no longer needed.
Jan's blip extra of the deer is taken from the same place, looking out to the left.
Two hours of walking here with Rusty, then to town and the beach, and another two hours of walking Rusty in the rocky hills behind the beach.  Rusty is now asleep!
Another lovely day.
