My walk this week returns to our garden where Spring is in full flow with the birds singing and the colours spreading.
But there is a rare anomaly for me in this post! The images and soundscape are from different weeks with the audio being recorded one week earlier than the photos. This is very unusual for me but there is a reason for it. The recording was made while I was digging the first small vegetable patch and as I did so in the breezy sunshine, a blackbird sang his heart out in the trees behind me and it was such a joy to be doing this work to his and other birds accompaniment.
No digging for me this week – instead I took photographs of the developing colours as the plants grow into a new season and as I walked around the garden, they appeared to be enjoying themselves as much as the birds in this fine weather we have been getting lately.
I know we are the lucky ones in this Covid-19 lockdown, having a beautiful garden to enjoy. Hopefully the StillWalks® posts and available videos can bring some element of enjoyment of the outside world to those of you who cannot experience nature on your doorstep.
Some of the StillWalks® videos can be seen here and others here.
Lovely sounds of the birds in the garden, its as if we hadn’t heard them properly before, such an inspiration, thank you.
Thank you – it’s a much needed sound at the moment I think
and your garden looks lovely!
Thank you. I do love our garden but it is perhaps not as organised as it might appear. A bit of wildness is what I like
did I see forget-me-nots? Shur when they’re in your garden, they pop up everywhere. I love them 🙂
You did indeed. There are loads of them and I included one behind the dandelion. There are loads of those too and we let them flower, then take off their heads before they get to the “clock” stage (my wife does anyway).
