Birches and blossom

A walk through the birches to find the first hawthorn flowers of the season.

The canopy is starting to fill out...

A path through the beautiful trunks and delicate foliage of Betula pendula - birch

I always get so excited when the flowers of Crataegus monogyna - hawthorn, or May - begin to open

More May. Look at those little pink anthers!

And some that haven't got there yet...
