It’s my first major shift of season since moving to Manchester. And yes, it turns out they experience Spring here in the north of England too. The mornings and evenings are getting lighter, and blooms are everywhere. I’ve found a spectacular show of flowers in a place a short walk from here in Castlefield.
St John’s Gardens is carpeted in a stunning show of daffodils and crocuses. This quiet spot is very close to the bustling thoroughfare of Deansgate in the handsome, imposing city centre. Armed with just my macro lens, this was irresistible…

A lovely burst of colour from the grey industrial powerhouse! :)
Yes, it happens even up here! Lots of colour about the place – and sunshine :)
These blooms are just so lovely. You have captured them well.
Thank you very much, Arlene. It’s a lovely thing to see in the middle of a big northern city like Manchester.
