A SURE SIGN THAT SPRING HAS ARRIVED

We have a beautiful hawthorn bush growing in our front garden.  It is not the same hawthorn that grows in England so MOH tells me but I think this may be Indian hawthorn.  It is out in full flower now and it always to me seems to herald that spring is here.  As it is 21st September today, the equinox I felt it a good time to declare IT IS SPRING.

The first upright picture is our hawthorn and then I decided to add the one that grows next door in an entirely different form.  Our hawthorn is an upright variety whereas Gwen's is more shrubby but both are glorious.

I took the picture on what you might call and wintry, windy and wet day in Perth (notice the alliteration there folks?) and yet that hawthorn brings such a glorious brightness to the garden.
