Another Spring photopost

So spring has sprung in Scotland, too. We had two solid weeks of sunshine here before today's clouds, but they won't last for long.

The sun is shining and all the grass is growing back in the country park next to my house.



The water is lovely and clear and perfect for fishing.






There are Daffodils growing out of old logs...


And even Pip is beginning to feel twitterpated.

I think Pip has the right idea - Twitterpated indeed! What a wonderful looking day!

Nice day. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Not ONE cloud in the sky this morning while takin' a walk with the wife.
It's cloudin' up now though. Rain soon.
Wonderful Easter morning!
Two weeks without rain??? Drought? LOL

Thanks for the pictures, Arlen. I love the word "twitterpated"; I always get that way in spring, too.

It's really been wonderful weather here for the past while. Pip has just been full of energy and desperate to get out and play.

There really isn't a better word to describe that spring feeling, is there?

*Laughs* Even in the summer Scotland is still doesn't lack for moisture.
I remember being told for months befor I went to Oregon that i should prepare for rain. I found it relatively dry compared to Glasgow.

Looking good. Of course Glasgow is the Dear Green Place, so well blessed with parks. Rouken Glen and Pollok Estate were favourite haunts for Ann and I when we were courting.
