Picspam & stuff

[kribu]

It's been an incredibly sleepy Sunday. Raining hard almost all day, grey and bleak.

Watching Doctor Who: The Fires of Pompeii did brighten the day though. Enjoyed it a lot, and spotted a few cute nods to the old series again. Yay!

Went for a walk yesterday, so there's picspam. After a lot of deliberation, decided to do the flowers picspam post today and the rest in a separate post at some point.

Snowdrops.



Hepatica.



Some more hepatica.


Have spent most of the day, on and off, watching a direct webcam feed of Donna the black stork nesting. Mostly she's been just sitting there, but I got to see her get up and rearrange the eggs (three of them, I think) a few times and on one occasion, poop over the edge of the nest. Exciting!

Lovely weather. Not much better here.

Purtty flowers! I like the first pic of the hepatica best. Nice and purple.

Oh the pretties!

Dozing Sunday here too, though here it's sunny.

Lovely - thanks!
I think the weird red thingy might be rhubarb.

How beautiful. Snowflakes are wonderful - I'm not sure I've ever seen those before.

Still no signs of spring flowers here. Those pics were lovely!

Beautiful pictures! We get snowflakes here in our yard, but I never knew what they were called.

Would you mind if I used picture #11 (crocus) to make an icon?

Ooh pretty, even the weird red thingy :-)

Weather here was awful too. Good to know it's not just we Brits who suffer the vagaries of spring.
