This is just down the road from where I live and spring seems to have had an early start here this year as there is a stunning carpet of spring flowers!

Don't be jealous Dave, the shot was taken on Friday and today it's freezing and rainy....apparently there's even snow on the surrounding mountains!

To be honest even though it looks idyllic and it's open to a main road, I wouldn't go there on my own with my camera....thats a draw back in many places around the world I suppose!

Hi Mark, it's strange that people think of Africa as hot LOL...we have really cold winters and most don't have central heating....thats why a hottie bottie can be your best friend

I'm really pleased you like it, that's a real compliment as I'm a big fan of your work

Hi Diane, I guess that someone else had to have that blue sky, because we have not got it here in the UK .

Nice bright image, and I like that line of trees, are those yellow flowers buttercups. I agree about removing that lamp post, but still a very nice warm image. Well spotted.
