The berries that hang over our flapping fence make a happy sanctuary for birds. They love to sit on top of the bush and treat themselves after rummaging for worms!
Incredibly a couple of flowers have already appeared and several bulbs are poking their heads above the soil. Even the pots on our patio are showing signs of life.
Buds are appearing on the Bay Tree and Rhododendron bush plus the fuzzy heads on the Magnolia tree are starting to burst.
A tree covered in algae proved too much of a temptation not to photograph.
And this dew covered cobweb was spotted nestling in a pile of logs.
How wonderful to see a little bit of magic in the garden already. Linking up with How Does Your Garden Grow? at Mammasaurus.
Love it, especially the algae on the tree. Beautiful bits of magic indeed 🙂
Thank you Iona – so nice to see new signs of life 🙂
Beautiful photos. It’s amazing seeing things blooming this early in the year isn’t it
It really is – looks like there’s nothing there when you look out of the window too 🙂
It feels too darn gloomy for flowers to be showing themselves, but I’m so glad they are – just a hint of optimism! Beautiful shots – I need to take some tips from you.
You’re so right, I look out of the window and see a bog! Can’t wait for all the colour to come back. And thank you – anytime 🙂
Ahhh I love macro photos – it’s like stopping to appreciate what’s there in the everyday, the normal stuff and really staring at it. That cobweb shot is my fave, makes me want to bounce on it – probably better if I don’t put those feeling into action ey? 😉
Thanks ever so much for joining in again – Spring is coming, I can smell it from here!
Thank you Annie – I really like the cobweb too and the algae is alright! So nice to see life appearing, bring on Spring 🙂
Gorgeous photos, shows that Spring is definitely on its way
Thank you Amanda – let’s hope so 🙂
Beautiful pictures. It is a real talent to find joy in the everyday
What a lovely thing to say Jenny – thank you 🙂
Lovely photos, lets hope we don’t get a lot of frost or snow to damage your buds.
I know – I keep thinking that. Poor little things appearing and then freezing. Would be awful!
What beautiful photos!!
Amazingly we have a rose in bloom in our garden, I don’t quite know how it is surviving!
It’s so mild isn’t it – amazing really. Thank you 🙂
Just stunning! I love, love, love the dewy cobwebs! Teach me, yes?!
Thank you lovely – really kind of you. I can try *makes something up quickly*

Thank you Claudia, I’m sure all these downpours have played a part. It’s been fairly mild in the UK too 🙂
Just beautiful. Magical indeed. I wish there were more signs of spring here 🙂 #HDYGG
Thank you Sara – I do hope Spring is on its way, would be wonderful. Or if not, our snow arrives soon 🙂
Luuurve the pictures! I can’t believe how much is already starting to grow in your garden. Ours still looks as if everything is dead!
Thank you Gina. Amazingly from the window our garden looks dead too. A little wander and I spotted all sorts of gems 🙂

The algae on the tree makes such a great photo. #HDYGG

Thank you Laura – that’s definitely my favourite 🙂
It is crazy how all this stuff is happening in January! Did you see Annie’s snowdrops?
It’s mad isn’t it! I did see Annie’s snowdrops then found a solitary one in our garden yesterday. Weird 🙂
I love the way you have captured the photos they really look good
