Springing forth

There's a strong sense of spring in the garden, and a strng sense of frustration that I'm still struggling to bend hence not a great deal has been done to bring it to it's best.  Still, I always rather like this view, even with the cobwebs which I guess serve as a reminder that there is always still more to do than you first imagined!

The extra is this is this tree.  It's a very unusual tree in several ways........a bit quirky which is probably why I like it so much.  Lovely to see the spring buds bursting forth now.
