...in like a lion...



 
 
Spring has arrived and and contrary to the saying - 'in like a lion and out like a lamb', September arrived with beautiful, balmy weather. But that was just a tease - tonight the elements are roaring against us and snow is forecast to sea level. The lion has arrived!
The wind has battered some of my spring flowers so I picked them and brought them inside, I like them all clumped outside but like them inside as well.
 
 
 
 
The blossom is out on the trees and the streets around town are looking lovely.
 
 
 
I went out with my camera a couple of times and took photo's. Some on a lovely sunny day...
 
 
 
 
...and some today as the weather began to change.
 
 

 
 
You can see the clouds beginning to build up.
 
 
 
I love the blossom trees and don't have a one of my own so I really enjoy this season, short though it is.
 
 
 
 
And below is a shot of the front coming across the plain from the south. The hill was just disappearing from sight and I reached my gate just as the hail began, it was a race though. Phew.
 
 
 
Goodnight all, enjoy your week :D

    You certainly took lovely spring shots, before the hail came. Perfect timing. Oh we bloggers are getting so good at our blogging, aren't we? :-) Even watching the weather, to see when will be a good, good, good Photo Op Time! I love it.

  4. It is strange to think of september as being your spring as it is our autumn.
    I love all of the lovely tree blossom too - you have got some wonderful pictures of all of that lovely blossom. :)
