Last Sunday, we walked in the woodland garden of a local nursery (MacPenny`s of Bransgore) on an afternoon of cloud interspersed with bright blue sky.
The tall old oak promised to break bud soon.
Late snowdrops......
....the first bluebell I have seen in flower this spring........
...and red camelias high above our heads.
Sweet scented mahonia.....
....camelias and a honey bee......
Dappled sunlight on eucalyptus.......
.....and along a woodland path.
Camelias....
......a vivid pink azalea......
...and South African Snowflakes in a sunlit border.
Trees of interesting shapes from far-off lands.....
....and everywhere, the dance of sunlight on flower, stem, bark and leaf.

Beautiful walk for springtime. I think I recognized some bamboo there. I love a good stand of bamboo!
It looks lovely, I like the photo of the oak tree.
This looks like a nice place, love the trees and paths and camelia's. Julie xxx
fab photos, particularly the 2 of paths. I would so love to walk down them, they look so inviting.
Lovely photos showing the beginning of Spring - they all go to show just how much further on the season is where you live than it is up here. I have just seen my first marsh marigold and the first bit of hawthorn out on the hedge - but one things is for certain - Spring is on its way.
I never cease to be amazed at the beauty in this world.
Love from Mum

What a beautiful walk in a garden bursting into spring!
I love the smell of mahonia, we had one in the garden which got to big and had to go but I am missing it now!

What a wonderful place to walk and such lovely photos. Have just seen a bluebell starting to flower in our garden - seems earlier than ever.
lovely photos of spring! looks like a nice place for a wander!
So lovely.
(Alas, we can't go to London because of my mum, who lives with us now.)
i like exploring in the woods and finding seasonal happiness as well as you do. fresh air, hearing singing birds, smell of new leaves on the tree...all makes me feel so alive.
your walk in the woods, i enjoyed it as if i was walking with you. i may go out to do the same this afternoon.
have a wonderful day.
i am so glad to find your beautiful blog.
love,

Sunshine makes so much difference! I love the camellias. Mine is out, surrounded by a sea of building rubble!
