April - Spring is in the Air

Post by MikeT »

So far this April in Sheffield, we've had cloud, rain, hail a few minutes ago, and now bright sunshine. With sun on the daffodils, it's clearly spring, even if it does feel a bit chilly.

So this month's theme is 'Spring is in the Air'.

What pictures do you have that fit with spring? It could be new growth, buds, flowers - or anything else that suggests that 'Spring is in the Air'.

Some April Spring photos to start:
