Tundra

For once, the sun shone beautifully on us this morning.  So despite the cold we decided on a longer walk around the park this morning.  Close to Osborne's Pond, the views across the fields were rather 'tundra-like'.
The snow is beginning to melt away and reveal the green grass underneath, but the temperature is still well below average for the time of year.
Back home over Shipley Hill and down the other side and the trees were trying very hard to open their buds in the wood.  The Snowdrops are fading but the Daffodils still haven't opened their flowers - and who can blame them in the snow.  Still, things were definitely looking up this morning.
