Reflections on the approaching Spring
I went to my local Lattersey Nature reserve today, signs of spring are beginning to appear, the trees and plants are readying themselves for what I think of as the big leaf switch on.
An early Dog Violet?
I always liken the reappearance of leaves the annual greening of the trees and hedgerows to someone throwing a switch. All around the leaves are starting to appear furled up ready to explode into their final full size.

The passing of the seasons is something that ignores our worldly preoccupations nature is not affected by our human concerns its only regulator the weather. Although that is something we as humans seem to be affecting.
