It finally feels like spring is arriving!
Last time I saw Fred our pheasant was on Sunday. I was worried that perhaps a fox had found him but my husband says he’s seen him show up other days this week too.
Meanwhile we’ve been collecting all sorts of twigs with buds and keeping them in jars of water near the kitchen window. This is our hazel twig on Monday. We were amazed to see leaves sprouting from the buds on our birch twigs the same day.
On Tuesday, near the ‘secret place’ where Luce and Theo are building a den, I caught sight of a ray of sunlight on these buds. I had been wandering around in search of signs of spring and March flowerings.
A cheeky look on Theo’s face as he ate breakfast on Wednesday.
A happy Luce before her ballet class on Thursday.
There’s been non stop wild birds feasting on treats at the bird feeders in our garden. Recently a Great spotted woodpecker has been stopping by regularly. I managed to get a quick shot on Friday before it spotted me.
Luce checked whether the mini cacti needed a watering before heading out for a birthday party on Saturday.
Spring is in the air as far as I’m concerned – even though it might still only be the meteorological and not astronomical spring. It’s week 10 of the photo diary (March 1st to 7th) and Project 365.

Oh Fred! Those pesky foxes better not get hold of you! Gorgeous photos of Luce and Theo – what beautiful eyes they have. I am firmly convinced Spring is upon us (or maybe I am willing it to be). Have a lovely week!
Kriss MacDonald says
Today Fred visited three times so he’s definitely fine!

Ah, gorgeous to see all those signs of spring, alongside beautiful photos of the twins. I really like the one of Luce looking at the cacti 🙂
Izzie Anderton says
Hurrah for spring, can’t wait for some warmer days and the garden looking brilliant again. I think I love all the photos this week – the twins are as photogenic as ever and everything else is also captured brilliantly.
Elaine Livingstone says
great close ups of both the children. I like the idea of twigs in jars, need to try that one.
Thank goodness Fred is ok, I managed to kill all our cacti when I tried to keep them.
Tarana Khan says
Beautiful photos! I like how you are collecting twigs and placing them in jars. I’m sure your spring photos will be as lovely as the winter ones you shared with us 🙂

My mum had a woodpecker visiting her garden this week, not the easiest of our feathered friends to capture! Lovely photos 🙂
