Hope you enjoyed! More spring flowers next week
In like a lion, out like a lamb, so they say of March. Our March came in cold and wet. But on the first day we did manage to get out for a walk…to Burlingham Woods.

Seeking colour in the hedgerows
1st March 2023
Then, behold, there’s colour in the sky…
1st March 2023
It doesn’t last…

But we’re not yet wet when we arrive at the first part of the woods
1st March 2023
Disappointed that the daffodils aren’t yet in flower…
1st March 2023
Yet the deeper into the woods, the more the flowers…
1st March 2023
And the sun appears. Maybe it won’t rain after all

I love this hazel glade, now hung with catkins
1st March 2023
We detour before taking in the rest of the woods… you’ll see why next Sunday
1st March 2023
Hope you enjoyed our little walk. We had our eyes on that sky, was it to rain or wasn’t it. It had rained earlier, when we first set out, but now the sun was shining.

The horse chestnut’s sticky buds are opening. A sure sign of spring!

Oh, and I almost forgot…
I have a line!

Changes seen
Since those long-ago days
Of pen-pals
Worldwide.
Now my pen’s put away
Used only for cards
At Christmas
For weddings
And birthdays
Replaced by DMs
And tweets
Less to say.

Hellabaloo has had her day
Left, abandoned to decay
No longer sailing with the other boats
No longer able to stay afloat
Hellabaloo, dragged ashore
To sail the wavy blue no more
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory) by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN

Remember the days
When boldly we’d go
Where none before us had ventured
With Kirk to captain us
And Spock as First Officer
With Chief Med – now what was his name?
McCoy, that’s right, the real one!
And Scotty – Montgomery – a dab hand with warp-drives
Oh, only a warp drive – did we never dive through wormholes?
Did space not fold, back in the day?
Did entangling photons not speed us
On USS Enterprise?

Lound Lakes, 20th February 2023, Part 2
Last week we left the walk as we skid and rumble down the stony path and onto the road. We pick up the walk from there.
20th February 2023
The road runs between two lakes. But the view isn’t good from there. We cross the road and take the trail across the second part of the reserve
20th February 2023
Here we find a bridge that crosses the lake. But that way will take us back to the road. We go look, but we do not cross

Here’s a good place to watch the waterfowl
20th February 2023
We’re back on the main trail
20th February 2023
This leads us into another woodland
20th February 2023
Hey, close-up pylon, I’m overjoyed!
20th February 2023
This, the third woodland of our walk, is of a different nature. Not much by way of flowers or undergrowth
20th February 2023
We’re about to join another path. Choice here, right into the village, left to head for the bus
20th February 2023
Left also takes us by way of an enchanted pool!
20th February 2023
20th February 2023
And up another hill which delivers us to Hopton where we stop for lunch

Churchyards are always a good place to stop for lunch… they tend to have bench-seats!
Hope you enjoyed. Don’t miss Tuesday Treat for some seasonal flowers

I loved this as I passed it along a village street. Couldn’t resist the photo. But for the privacy of the owner, I’ve blanked out the registration number.
