It can be all too easy to get fixated on the latest crisis news but mother earth and nature continue regardless.

In recent days spring has made its presence felt. There is a bit more warmth in the sun bulbs are making a show and buds are breaking.

Here are a few images, grabbed on yesterday’s (March 25) bike ride exercise, which I find cheery and optimistic.

Perhaps you have some to add? If so, please send them to guildford.dragon@gmail.com, saying where taken and by whom.

Old barn and behind the rape is coming into flower giving its familiar yellow carpet to many of our fields.

Cheerful daffodils surround Shalford Village sign.

Dragon reader Harry Eve sent in two images from his wildlife garden:

A common lizard enjoys some spring sunshine.

And Harry recommends that we read about the interesting habits of this red mason bee (Osmia bicolor (Schrank,1781) | BWARS) that visited him.

And Worplesdon Witness columnist wrote in rather mysteriously: “Here are my photos. I found the fairies under the toadstool in St Mary’s churchyard Worplesdon. Rev Alex the rector didn’t know they were there.”
