Springing

The change in Spring from one day to another is its defining characteristic. One natural feature that chronicles this well is the birch tree. Many birch together add a feathery edging to the previously hard outline of the woods once April has got underway. It's a treat to watch individual specimens slowly put on their new clothing. Morning sunlight enhances as do the songs of willow warblers, this week's welcome new arrivals.
