Springwatch 2014 - share your photos here

[Proventurer]

Spring is out there; it may be very damp at the moment, but there are plenty of signs of Spring. I'll start:



Please share photos of the signs of Spring you've taken.

Sorry Bernie, we are entering Autumn/Winter here in SA, however for you guys inthe Northern hemisphere:

Spring is sprung the grass is ris,
I wonder where the Birdies is,
the birds is on the wing,
but that's absurd,
I always thought the wing was on the bird!

Accredited to many differing poets, strongest case is for a American from Brooklyn whereupon Bird becomes "Boid" etc.
I learnt the Anglicized version.

"Ja, nooit boet, I know what you mean china."

People never think Winter in SA is as cold as it is. Do houses have central heating there these days? They never did when I grew up (in Cape Town).

You realise of course all your fellow bushcrafters will be totally flumexed by the fact you have a "boet" who's also a "China", my maat!
I'm out in Durbanville and I've yet to come across a house with centeral heating, I mean as an example a regte boerer familie moved in next door a couple of years back and the first thing they did was take the tile roof off and stick on a zinc one, not the fancy ones you get in the UK, I mean a proper Dorp type roof!
No the winter season is getting pretty chilly nowadays, gas heaters and electric heaters running most of the time and definately long pants once the sun goes down, in fact I'm thinking of giving up my shorts for the season now!
As soon as the Spring season starts here I'll drive out along the West Coast Rd and photograph some vygies, for you
