Last weekend was bright and sunny, chilly in the wind but warm in sheltered spots. It felt like all of creation was waking up and stretching. Not that we've had a bad winter, far from it, it has been very mild, but even so the long dark days take their toll. I went out looking for signs of Spring in Saltaire. There were plenty of people about, enjoying the space in Roberts Park. (See my last two posts for a short biography of the man after whom the park is named.) The daffodils are beginning to flower in sunny spots (and they're a cheery sight, aren't they?) It was warm enough, too for a few folk to sit outside the Half Moon Café (though I did secretly want to shout "Go in, go in and look at my photos..." - ha!)
Lovely shapes and perspectives, jenny.

ReplyDeleteWhat a grand thing to have a park named after you! Not so sunny down here today.
ReplyDeleteLove this shot Jenny!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautyful place for a sunday stroll!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, jenny. Daffodils are such a welcome sign of springtime. Love your picture today. Now, you go out there and have a happy and healthy weekend outdoors.
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to going in and seeing your photos :)
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are my favorite flower - probably because they truly represent springtime, after a long winter (at least here in NW Wisconsin). But today it was 80 degrees. Unbelievable! 75 degrees was the record high set in 1895 or something, so this is a record breaker!! What a beautiful photo, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteThis shot has such a wonderful community feel about it. It also reminds me of rabbits coming out of their holes in Spring...hee hee.
