We've certainly had above average good weather for the time of year this April and it gave me the incentive to go out walking again. We have some pleasant places where we can walk and the local 100 acres of heather, oak, silver birch, bracken and grassland that makes up the local Common is one of them. It's a nature reserve managed by the Parks, Woodland and Ranger Service of Sheffield City Council together with volunteers and in consultation with local ecologists. It's also a walk uphill through some streets lined with apple and ornamental cherry trees that look beautiful when the blossom is out and attractive in the Autumn as the leaves colour up. Some new trees have also been planted on the grass verges and there are many mature trees to be seen along the way.

Along the path is one of the entrances to the Common and next time I will show you where I walked on the Common.
Have a good day!
I would very much enjoy the walk you took. my favorites today are the gate opening into where the wall is with all those gorgeous tulips growing and shadows and sunlight. so glad you could get out and take these photos to share... walking up hill and down hill is so much better for our health than flat land. flat is all we have. we have to find other ways to go up and down
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stroll surrounded by beauty. Looking forward to seeing more. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWe've definitely been spoilt with the weather but it looks set to change from tomorrow, such a shame. We're lucky with the lovely places we've got on our doorsteps, always something to see when out on our walks.
ReplyDeleteSpring is showing beautifully in your corner of the world! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along in such a great weather.

ReplyDeleteSUCH luscious greens! I love seeing all the flowers and foliage on your walk! Glorious! Yours is about the 5th Lilacs picture I've seen today and I saw some yesterday! It's their time to shine!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just wonderful! All that blue sky and beautiful blossom, such a tonic.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful all the trees are, blossom, lilac - it's such a beautiful time of year and it's good that you can get out for a walk and enjoy it. The warm, sunny weather has left us here today and it is dull and drizzly. The gardens need the rain even if we don't:)
