Although some of the azaleas and rhododendrons are already past their best, some are in full bloom and some are still on the way. We're always impressed by how much lichen grows on some of these shrubs.
Lovely to see cherry blossoms at their best too.
It was a lovely sunny day (though quite chilly) so there were lots of shadows about to take photos of for Shadow Shot Sunday.
We also popped in to the Locating the Nest exhibition, which features artwork inspired by nests - prints from Hugh Bryden, word art from Tom Pow and basketwork from Lizzie Farey.

Those grand trees make grand shadows!
Seeking Clarity—and Shadows
Those last two photos of the sculptures are wonderful. I especially like the last. Essence of nest, I should say!
Such lovely, springtime shadows for the day! I love them! Hope your a weekend is off to a great start! Enjoy!

Great photos and I love the one from the nesting exhibition! Very interesting!
You had a great day for shadows!
The flowering buds seem to look their absolute best upon the initial bloom. But are lovely still as they grow...the shadows that fall onto the lawn are with new foliage, their shadowy view so nice as we can still see the branches. Despite the chill, these views are so warm. Nice!
A lovely variety of shadow designs! Love the intricacy of the basket shadows!
Beautiful shadows!
Thank you for your contribution to Shadow Shot Sunday 2!
Luscious shadows. Have a safe and happy weekend!

Hi Juliet,
Love the pink blossom and the shadows from the trees.
I have a few friends that make jewellery so will let them know about your Etsy store.
Happy new week
