The New Guys

Some  pictures to celebrate Spring, which has come in early and lusty this year to the area around my home village.

Up and under
A lamb suckles on a farm overlooking the Creedy Valley

Devon Bank
Wild primroses beside the byway leading down to Shaky Bridge.

Spring Greens

Lush lawns, leafing trees and budding gardens in West Sandford


Bursting
A horse chestnut bud, Sandford Millennium Green

Flotilla
A dozen ducklings on the pond, Sandford Millennium Green.



Wood Anemones
A common wild flower in these parts, I'm happy to say.

The not-so-new guy and the positively old guy
Me and him at Shaky Bridge (pic by Annie B).

Bliss
I love the expressions of the ewes centre left and bottom right.


Hi there
Confident lambs walk towards the man with a wolf on a string. 



Quiet flows the Creedy
Now the winter swells have fallen, the doggy playground of Creedy Beach has been revealed, albeit altered by the surge of the river.



The Promise of Summer

The entrance to a garden, with glimpses beyond, is always fascinating. This is West Sandford; the cobble setts are quite common in the parish
