This is the beauty of Spring
With the arrival of spring, we can make the most of London with the prolonged daylight. Parks have extended opening times and children have more activities to choose from. It’s time to take a stroll or ride a bike in the park. Spring is the season of new beginnings so it’s still not too late to make new resolutions or reignite the old ones.
Here are 5 new ones to choose from:
- Take an evening stroll in your local park after work to unwind.
- Visit some of London’s museums at the weekend.
- Read that book you’ve been longing to read in the garden or in a quiet space in London (if you can find one!)
- Visit some of London’s attractions.
- Eat-out.
To celebrate this colourful season, this spring poem has been composed to inspire you and to get you out and about:
This is the beauty of Spring – Colourful flowers in Turnham Green park London
This is the beauty of Spring – People strolling in Turnham Green Park
This is the beauty of Spring
Spring, what a beautiful season,
Out with the old, in with new.
A time for Spring-cleaning and
A time for new beginnings;
This is the beauty of Spring.
This is the beauty of Spring – A couple of birds in St James park London
Sweet melody of birds chirping,
Spring’s in the air.
Longer days and shorter nights,
Bright blue skies and the radiance of the sunset
This is the beauty of Spring.
This is the beauty of Spring – Daffodils in St James park
Gradually buds burst open,
bringing the arrival of Daffodils;
The fullness of trees and,
Bright cheerful faces;
This is the beauty of Spring.
This is the beauty of Spring – Sunrise in springtime
Darkness turning to light,
Cold turning to warmth;
Hibernation to liberation,
Freedom at last but a picture of hope;
This must be the beauty of spring!
Bola, these pictures are wonderful and I am so jealous. Here you are, surrounded by all this beauty and we still have snow on the ground. I WANT to get out in my garden even more now. You did a fantastic job matching the photos to the poem and ending with the sunrise was sheer genius. Thanks for the journey.
Hi Lenie. I hope the snow shifts soon and I’m pretty sure the sun and spring is not far off. Thanks for the comment.
Wow. That sunset is so beautiful. I love spring. It is a time of change. I love that the days become longer and the earth looks so pretty. This post has got me looking forward to summer and makes me feel good to be in the now. Hello spring 🙂
The longer days gives us much to look forward to.
The pictures are just beautiful! I love the colors of Spring, and the fresh air too! This really has me excited about Spring!!!
Thanks The colours of Spring and the brighter days bring us so much hope.
Spring is wonderful and so beautiful, not just in London but everywhere. Used to love walking from my house in Knightsbridge to my office in Mayfair during the season of new beginnings.
Those walks in Springtime are quite refreshing.
Hi Bola
What lovely pictures of spring you have! Here. In sunny California we never really get what most people consider winter ….it’s just beautiful all the time. Which is great, I’m definitely not complaining. We just never get the anticipation of the snow finally leaving, the green grass popping through the last bits of snow or the first blooms of spring. There is definitely something to be said for that anticipation and appreciation of Spring. 🙂
Hi Susan. I can imagine what it’s like to have sunshine all year round in California. The variety of the seasons is what makes us in London anticipate Spring. 🙂
