Early Spring Flowers

Last year at the beginning of lockdown I started taking photos of the spring plants I had always seen on my walks, but had never really acknowledged. I feel as if I have been living with my eyes shut to the beauty of the natural world. Well, my eyes are wide open now and here is a selection of early spring flowers that are growing in my part of the Chilterns in Oxfordshire, UK. This article was published in the Henley Standard on April 23, 2021. Above are some daffodils growing in my garden.
