Spring is sprung - day 2

I’m not quite sure what these are as they were taken alongside some images of pussy willow and other tree buds. Also I should have used a greater dof as the back ones are not as sharp as they might be. However, I was struggling with a Baxter who was straining at the lead and barking volubly at distant dogs. Nevertheless they are a sure sign that spring is in the air. Yesterday I clean the patio and put out the chairs and table and today I did a first cut of the grass. I don’t think I have ever cut the grass so early in the year before but it is growing very noticeably.
