Signs of spring

Few instagrams from walk in the woods a few days ago. Celandine, wood anemone, primrose harbingers of spring all. The garlic and bluebells are definitely a few weeks later than last year, though.

Calming tactics

Whenever I'm in need of a few minutes chilling out from the everyday, I find myself coming back to this video time and time again. Made by talented local wildlife photographer Cain Scrimgeour, it uses time-lapse to tell the story of a hay meadow in upland Northumberland. I've made a mental note to get up to one of these meadows in a couple of months, possibly Barrowburn in Upper Coquetdale.
