Signs of spring

I went for a walk looking for signs of spring yesterday and did find some which did make me feel happy that clear signs of spring were about, but i must say some of these shots I know are new spring growth but I also know some are planted by landscapers to give the feel of Spring.

And I must also say I clearly still have some more practice needed with my new lens and I am not totally happy with these shots but I am Happy to see signs of spring :)

This is a bud opening up on a bush in the Tudor city gardens and a plant that has been there for as long as i can remember so I know this is a clear sign of springs arrival

This is I do believe a Daffodil about to open up and is another clear sign of spring there were many others growing out of the ground so I look forward to revisiting there soon and see if there has been any more growth and flowers opening up

Now we get to shots of flowers that looked like they had bene very recently planted by landscapers, infact earlier int he day I saw landscapers planting flower beds with flowers like these in another part of the city.

Blue being my favorite color and the fact my Dad used to always plant some of these in the garden at the front of the house I do love these flowers ;)

PS I dod say I am not happy with these shots and know I could do better, but that said I did also take other shots of little details with the lens that I am very happy with and will share in a future post ;)
