Signs of Summer in My Neighbourhood


…..on my evening walk with Frances

Who says you can only decorate trees at Christmas?

ImageAs we entered the park I noticed a lot of bird activity. It’s clear that there’s a lot of nesting going on. The pond has a pair of resident swans. The female was on a reedy little island in the middle of the pond, probably sitting on her eggs, while the male was enjoying a leisurely evening swim.Image

The shrubs and trees are almost completely green and flowering species are near the end of their blossom cycle.

One of the most obvious signs for me that summer is just around the corner is the reappearance of the boats from the yacht club back in the water.ImageImage

  1. Think those paper lanterns would either get sodden here or blow away. Have to admit to having a large tree branch in the hall (we live in an old converted country church so our hall soars upwards.). The Christmas decorations tend to stay on it all year with the occasional addition for other events. Bit of a ‘family tree’ I suppose.
