Cherry Blossoms

The blossoms on the cherry tree, against an azure blue sky. My dear Irish friend was waiting for me at the door, "Look, winter has just about shed her grey heavy coat, isn't this a glorious day?  Ireland is playing England today, Six Nations, you know, and I hope they are going to win!" And Ireland did win, beating England 24-8.

Chasing dawn on M25

The M25 orbital, near Heathrow airport, eerily empty at 02:30 hours on a Sunday morning.  The highway lighting, like strings of sparkling gems, guiding the path home.

Spring is a whisker away

It's dull, it's grey, and it's wet, but the signs of spring are nearly bursting upon us. Just look at the budding magnolia.
