Spring is late, and it’s Caerthan’s birthday

Well of course, we all know that, but I thought I’d mark it here for future reference – I tend to forget from one year to the next what has been happening weather-wise.

What has this got to do with Caerthan’s birthday? I’ve gotten into the habit of taking a photograph of something round here when it’s someone’s birthday – “Pistyll Gwyn on your birthday tra la!” I don’t know whether people like it or not, but I enjoy doing it, it gives me time thinking about the honoured person and wandering about here looking for a suitable shot.

This was the April 14th Caerthan picture from 2011 …

… all new leaf and blossom.

And the same shot in 2013 …

The only thing green here is the brambles …
