Hibernations and Signs of Spring
These common snails have found a nice place to hibernate in Colinton Dell
while the orange ladybirds are still huddling together in their fence posts
Meanwhile all around there are signs of Spring, from these snowdrops
and these hazel catkins
if you look carefully in the photo below, you can also see the tiny red female flowers
We were also happy to see the earth star fungi are still out, this one shows the star structure very well
Lovely sohts, will look out for the red hazel flowers myself in the park. Would love to find a huddle of snails or ladybirds
ReplyDeleteTu as le sens de l'observation, comme beaucoup de poète. Tes photos sont rès intéressantes.

I love the orange ladybirds. Not sure I have seen those before. We do have harlequins but they come in all sorts of colour and spot combinations.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. I gather spring is coming earlier this year. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Starting to see the signs ...
ReplyDeleteHi Juliet,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures you have shared and love all the signs that Spring is on its way there - the snowdrops are sweet.
Happy Sunday

Enjoy your Sunday
All the best Jan
