The Narrative
  The air had a bit of a bite today; 9°C feels a lot more like 6°C when a north wind is whispering through your layers. 

It was one of those teasing spring days where the sun promises warmth, but the shade quickly reminds you who’s in charge. The local birdlife was out in force, from the opportunistic rooks on the rec to a rather dramatic standoff between a magpie and a wood pigeon in the pines.

Even the local Pitbull was too preoccupied with a mystery interloper to pay me any mind. The highlight, however, was the ephemeral blossom on the cherry and crab apple trees—a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment that definitely deserved the shutter space.
