Tranquil Moments

Although the world we are living in at present is not in a good place, I give thanks for simple pleasures, and try to take something from each day.

Here in the UK the weather has been more spring-like and I have been fortunate to spend time outside enjoying some sunshine. 


Although this bird feeder, had no birds on it, (I probably scared them away), I'm sure they will be back for more seed soon ...


I always enjoy spotting our lovely European Robins 
as regular readers will know ... my favourite bird


daffodils are flowering well - such a cheerful sight


and how about this lovely scene - seen here
wonderful how the sunlight shows through the trees

Whatever your plans are this weekend may you find some tranquil moments 

All the best Jan

It's lovely to see your spring photos as we move into the cooler months. Though today we can't complain, the sun is high and the temperatures are are way up, better than our summer ones actually.

I like your bird feeder. And that sunlight through the trees makes me want to walk there. Happy weekend Jan.

I was SO excited when I saw my first European robin. My photos weren't very good because I had to max out the zoom (I was afraid I'd freak it if I got too close) but such a sight. I love all this spring -- I hope it comes here soon!

That's a beautiful bird feeder. I still can't get over how different your robins are from ours in the states.

You are European robins are much smaller than ours. So cute.

I posted that before I was ready. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. We are anxiously awaiting spring. It has been a very cool wet week. Unfortunately we did not get much rain…. Just very damp and dark.

These are really beautiful photos. Have a nice evening.

Conniecrafter said...

lovely photos, I am pretty excited for spring to come, so far we don't have any flowers blooming but I can't wait it will be soon :). I just bought a new bird feeder for our yard and a new hummingbird feeder too, so I will be ready when they come back!

Oi Jan, parabéns pelas lindas fotos, outono na maior parte do Brasil, começará no dia 20 de março. Confesso que eu acho, que nunca vi a flor narciso. Essa espécie de ave, não é típica do Brasil.
