Clouds, More Flowers, Capsicum and a Paint Splash

Out with Bella this morning, I admired these ostiospermum flowers in a neighbour's front garden.

Cloudy - to the point of breaking out into showers as we went out of the door.  Luckily, we finished our walk before it rained with a bit more determination. 

This ragged robin is a nice show every Spring - and as an accompaniment, the birds were singing their hearts out on Fairfield Park Road this morning 

Willow catkins - really quite difficult to get a sharp picture of as the slightest breeze makes them move.

Clematis out on a neighbour's wall already. 

Comfrey, or is it borage? 

Ribes bush covered with blooms. 

Philadelphus flowers. 

I liked the texture of this abandoned capsicum on the pavement outside the pub. 

There's a story behind this paint splash on the road, I'm sure. 

This day a year ago, the skies were bright even though the temperatures were still low (icicles on next door's dripping overflow still in evidence!)
