We were lucky enough this weekend to get a little tiny taste of spring.
It hasn't been a particularly cold winter, (there has barely been a frost) but it seems an age since the sun was last here. To make the most of it Ben and I walked up to Clifton Village, the fancy part of Bristol, and wandered around the fancy shops with all the fancy people. I took my film camera along, to finish the film off – the rest of the photographs didn't work quite so well, but I quite like how springlike these ones are.
We came across a little curved street that I've never spotted before called The Paragon, which is the most romantic street name I've ever heard. It was a beautiful little terrace, with brass door knockers and enormous windows looking into equally enormous and expensive lounges. I can't help but look in when a window like that presents itself.
Siubhan, the softness in these photos just has spring written all over them. there's something so special about those first bright days.
ReplyDeleteLovely :)
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely dreamy photos. I love exploring streets I've never noticed before, especially when the starts weather gets warmer :) x
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the new look! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteEngland is a very beautiful country I would love it visit one day; here in Canada we still have snow, well melting snow but still. I would love to see some flowers bloom already.
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures. I have to remember the street and have a look for myself next time I'm in Bristol.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! I love the first two in particular.
ReplyDeleteThe hues in these photos are so juicy. I'm excited for rhubarb season!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Paragon really is a wonderful name and irationally reminds me of the book her fearful symmetry. I think sometimes that the desire to glimpse into others windows was the trigger for all social media and especially blogging - seeing into other's lives. Also really like the new layout.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. As much as I love living in the land of eternal spring and summer, I do sometimes miss the feeling of the winter ending and feeling like you survived something and are being rewarded with beauty and sunshine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the rhubarb. Oh that shade!! So happy-making.
ReplyDeleteGotta love those spring colors. Beautiful. The rhubarb pic is my favorite (maybe because is impossible to find rhubarb over here).
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! The rhubarb and bread look so fresh, and the blossoms so fragile. Just how spring feels ;)
ReplyDeleteI imagine it smells of honeysuckle in the summer. Fireflies flickering about at dusk. Gentle breezes kicking long curtains into hazy twists. A beautiful daydream. My mind could go on forever.
ReplyDeleteClifton is a lovely place to finish films! I definitely used up the ends of a couple wandering around there. x
