It's time for another UK & Ireland Photohunt!

Here are the guidelines: You select one of your own photos to post that in some way reflects the country and utilizes the topic. Use the topic as a concrete prompt, or find a novel approach. Each person, just one post/photo per thread topic, (or two if you must) please. Photos should be resized to be no wider than 600 pixels. Too-large photos slow down the loading of the thread, and will be deleted. Read about how to post a photo in a thread, here. If you have an idea for a photo hunt topic, contact one of the Mods to offer the suggestion instead of beginning another thread.

Posting photos in the thread gives your permission for SlowTrav to eventually move the photos over to Photohunt albums in the Slow Photos site.

This week's prompt is "Spring".

You're encouraged to describe your photo--where you shot it, details of what you were doing or what was going on, etc.

Spring Shower

What a cool shot!

Cambridge, 7 days ago. The weather's taken a turn for the worse since then!

I loved seeing signs of spring as early as February - here, in Windsor:

Out for a walk about~

St James Park, Spring 2006

Leeds Castle, Kent--April 2009

Hampton Court Park--April 2009

Hyde Park.....a very optimistic chair vendor on potentially stormy day in April.

The ducks at Bourton-on-the-Water appear to be enjoying Spring also.

Beautiful flowers taken while on a stroll through St. James Park in London.

This is bluebell heaven. Gallants Bower is a mostly buried English Civil War fort overlooking the Dart harbor (Dartmouth, Devon). If you walk a bit farther into the real "bower" part up the hill, you come to a glade of thousands (millions?) of incredible bluebells which give real meaning to the word "carpet" that last for a week or so and then fade, making you wonder if they were really ever there.

This is in Windsor, last year, the first week of May which was actually warm 80 degrees,so nice, and as it turned out the only week for a long time before and after that was nice...

This was such a sight! We were sitting outside at The George pub on the green in Holyport, Maidenhead. This pub is a 5 minute walk from my mil's house.

Can you imagine having this beauty to hop on on a nice day?
