Spring, Day One

In this part of the world, our seasons officially start on the first day of the relevant month, 
not on the 21st, which seems to be the case in the northern hemisphere.
Don't take any notice of the date on this post -  Sunday August 31st.  Blogger is American.  

Therefore today, September the 1st, is the first day of spring. 
Of course it's not spring-y weather; it's quite cold and very wet. 
So here's a shot from last spring:

  1. Changing the seasons at the solstices makes more sense to me, but we also changed to Spring today. And it is. Bright and beautiful.
    Rain is predicted - and I so hope it falls. We are very dry over here. And tomorrow our temperatures are due to plummet again.
    Love your ducks and your water. Serene and charming.

    1. I hope you've had rain today, EC. We had a lovely warm sunny morning, but it's just started to rain again...

    2. Incontinent pigeon rain. Splat, splat and it was gone. Sigh.

  3. What a beautiful capture! Happy first day of spring in your lovely world. I know you're excited about your spring and summer arriving very soon. As far as my world, not so happy about what will follow our autumn.... oh well, it is what it is right?!

    2. Well, maybe, but there will be a whole lot of snow, and freezing temperatures before! Yikes, I'm cold and grabbing for my boots at the thought of it! Oh well, there's always fun in building a snowman right!

  4. I can only assume that you're counting the days until the school year ends. (I am, and it's only the second week for me!)
