After seeing my spring flowers starting to emerge, I checked back on last year’s posts to see how spring was progressing a year ago. I have a picture from 19 April, where there’s some patchy snow left on the field. So just for comparison, here’s a picture of the same field (just a bit different…

It was kind of a sunny day, the sky was white but the sun was providing some light on the landscape. Completely uninspiring so I just shot something and then processed it without any kind of interest in the end result. I haven’t been able to sleep properly this weekend, I have a headache and…

It’s April already! Warm and sunny, almost no snow left, ice melting. So my least favourite month is two months long this year, but I take consolation from the spring flower shoots that came up today (I checked in the morning, there was nothing – in the afternoon, two shoots).

It feels like it’s been overcast weather all winter. I think we’ve had some sunny days, but they are very easy to forget when day after day you look at a dull grey sky. So it was strange to see just a little bit of orange glow in the clouds, almost made me believe that…

I had a really nice walk today. At first I followed a small road that I haven’t taken before and I found all kinds of exciting things. For example, three abandoned houses in different stages of falling down. I will be mining those for 365 pictures all spring! Then I found an old double track…

Looks like such a lovely place. I’m sure that people are positively queuing to rent it.

Some rain in the air when I came home. Snow has almost melted on the fields. Takes the joy out of the longer days!
