I am SO enjoying getting out every day, watching the countryside allow the freshness of  Spring seep out of the old bones of the bare fields. In the Dogless Years I had forgotten the simple joy of a daily walk over familiar ground, seeing the tiny changes that mark the seasons. And the sky. Always changing. Always so big. Always so beautiful.

I rarely mange to grab the camera along with the lead/treats/whistle/iPod/phone/dog – so these are just snaps with my phone. But are a nice way to record the year, so I’ll keep on grabbing them…
