Milton Country Park - in sunshine

Although still muddy under foot, it was enjoyable to walk the dogs this morning under a blue sky and in sunshine!   Different from the weather experienced yesterday for sure.

Perhaps I haven't been observant previously, but I don't recall seeing catkins so early in the year.   It was a joy to see them bathed in sunlight and also to sense, and know, the days are starting to get longer!

The first image is an early attempt at using the camera's auto setting for HDR - and it works!
