Looking up

There are planes constantly flying over this part of Leeds on the flight path to the local airport. Spot the little contrail?

Of course, white blossom always looks gorgeous against blue sky too. There can't be many of us photographers who haven't snapped a few pictures like this:


Since I took these, we've gone back to grey skies, rain and wind. :(

  2. We had a few of those days too but now we're back to living inside some tupperware (as Bill Bryson once described life in England).

  4. I did spot the contrail. Here we won't see blossoms until late April and into May.
