I've begun to see the first little signs of spring this week....we even had a few days that were decidedly hot, but now the cold has returned - most likely the last chill of winter before Spring arrives properly. The peach tree has begun to blossom, the mango is laden in flowers and there are Tree Martins flitting about the paddocks and trees all day long.
This season is short lived in this part of the country, which makes me relish it all the more. Very soon the gentle, warm days will turn to searing hot ones, so I'll lap up spring while it lasts.
I've put together a short film - it's been a couple of months since my last so I hope you'll enjoy this one all the more!
After you've watched it, I've included beneath a few links to articles I've enjoyed lately plus a few other things too.
Enjoy!

Enjoy the rest of your week.
Thank-you so much Ann! iTunes seems to have a lot of Bert Kaempfert's music. I find it perfect for these little films. I hope you have a good week too x

DeleteYour videos are clever Sarah, I need some video making tutorials I think! Isn't that blossom just gorgeous? I always love some links, thank you x
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much Jane! You know I was just thinking about putting together a post with some video making tips. Is it something you would be interested in? x
DeleteYes! x
DeleteI'll try and put something together in the few weeks :-)
DeleteI am so glad Spring is coming, I am not a winter girl at all. Love the sun, the green trees and bright flowers, fresh vegetables of Summer.
ReplyDeleteOh yes the fruit of summer is wonderful! Autumn is my all-time favourite season x
DeleteLook at those pretty pink blossoms heralding Spring! Here, the bare branches of the plane trees are just coming to life with a few tiny new green leaves. Soon, the trees will be covered in their new growth and Spring will be well and truly sprung. I love Spring but, like you, it signals that the hot, hot summer weather isn't far away. Meg
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely description Meg! It's a lovely time of year, isn't it? x
