Today is a glorious first day of spring. The sky is cornflower blue and the air is fresh enough to blow away the cobwebs. Once a week I am giving myself an 'artists day'. This is a day where I go off on my own and do something I enjoy in order to get a bit of creative inspiration. Today I decided to have a walk to the other end of town (the pretty part) and take some photo's and soak up some creativity. The tree blossom is so pretty but short lasting.
This is a lovely walk by the river with some lovely little cottages.
This church spire seemed to go on for ever. I think I will go back there and have a closer look at the architecture and get some close up shots.
In the middle of this photo and slightly to the left is a little wooden gate. Oh how I would love to know what lies at the other side. The house on the right is one of a row of houses that back on to the river. If the residents go out of their back gates there is a couple of feet of land and then the river immediately in front of them. I stood and listened for a while. Not many people passed me by. I listened to the birds, watched the Canada geese drinking the river water and took in the moment.
Here are more beautiful blossom trees. Beautiful, really beautiful.

I had completely forgotten it was the first day of Spring - no wonder the weather is so glorious today! What a lovely walk and the photos you took are so charming and full of light and sunshiney happiness! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous walk you had. The sky looks so blue, the water so bright and reflective and the blossoms are heavenly. You are right we really do have to appreciate them for the short spell they are with us

Beautiful photos, isn't it lovely to see some blue sky and sunshine!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Simone..thanks for sharing your little walk with me...I enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so enjoying this sun at the moment. I spent the afternoon digging over the veggie patch. I keep saying to myself I need to make myself sketch more, keep a sketch book and I would like to do a sketch a day, to keep me in practise and make me look around myself more. Maybe I could start a new trend- Easter resolutions!
