Winters End

A photo through the bare winter trees of a small village Norman church.  In the grass, in the foreground there is still a small amount of snow, but the sky is blue and its a sunny day.

Another walk through a local village. This was a late winters morning and I was walking Ted the Greyhound while carrying my Nikon Zf with a Z 35mm S f/1.8 lens attached.

We are now just a few weeks from start of spring but we are still having the old cold day to remind us its still winter here in the northern hemisphere.

Here in the UK there is a bit of confusion as to when spring starts.

In order to compare one year with the next the Met office (Meteorological Office) use statical spring, this runs from the 1st of March year, this allows them to compare one year to the next and say if the climate is getting warmer, but the actual start of spring is defined as when the polar axis starts to point towards the sun.

Dr Becky explains it here very well.
