Although we have all been stuck inside, outside spring has been magnificent.  I have loved watching the trees and gardens around me bud and bloom. I've had feathered visitors to my garden I don't normally see and have loved the birdsong of robins and blackbirds.

To help celebrate the wonderful outside you might like to share in the Urban Tree festival.
