Day 22

After running the morning’s errands, I got back around lunchtime with plenty of time for a walk. The children had friends over so we had a gaggle of children with us for the duration. It was a beautiful spring day with the sun shining – so much so that I had to dispense with my jacket for the first time this year.

We headed on the usual route and everyone was in a good mood about it so that was nice. Despite the racket, there was a nice chorus of birdsong about. I am going to have to try to get up early some morning to try to get out in the dawn chorus.

It is quite interesting to have a bit of a look around in the roots of fallen trees. You can see a lot of detail in the growth in among the decay

 

Further on a the crossing point of the stream, the frogs were still laying. I managed to snap this guy lurking just on the surface.
