Following on from my last post is a further selection of photographs from the Southwell Trail capturing the transition from winter to spring.
This time I concentrate mainly on the details rather than land or treescapes including early wildflowers, the first new leaves, blossoms, and some of the farming activities in the local fields.
Celandine are often the first wildflowers to bloom on the trail, seen below with some violets. I also noted a fine patch of honesty (Lunaria annua):
