Pretty Pretty

Being an interlude of pretty Spring-things and so on that I've photographed about the Patch.

Because.

I love Crocuses

[Croci.. ;) ]

Scilla

Yes, it's a Tulip

Greater Periwinkle

[slightly weather-affected]

Lesser Periwinkle

That white one

Snowdrop

Blooming around the place

Likewise

Creeping Buttercup

And now for something complllllletely different.

Views of the lower valley - nay gorge - of the River Fleet [or Flet, if you prefer]. Admittedly, you may have difficulty seeing the water, as some inconsiderant people have built a town centre over it....

Looking up stream.
River under - more or less - the straight road

Of interest, there are two of our lovely 'drive onto the top and out the bottom' multi-storey car parks in shot [though one is slightly better disguised]. Front left building used to be the Post Office, centre with round bit used to be a famous furniture shop, and the big red thing was, yup, you guessed it; Woolies.

The view across the valley

The view south over the river mouth

It's a little like a coastal version of Cheddar Gorge, if someone had quarried the wotsits out of it and used the stone to - in defiance of all logic - build a town.
:)



Well, that's about it for now.


News? Er, things coming in to flower. No Ladybird onset yet. No spring migrants yet..
Otherwise, look up.



Be Seeing You...
