I was going to post this on the Gloomy thread but thought I'd start a new photograph thread so we can see how the year develops in pictures.
This was taken yesterday from Hungerford Bridge - it's not a great photo but shows St Paul's shining in the drizzly cold gloomy early evening.
Coronation day in 1953. I was 18 months old. My cousin aged 5 and I were in the local fancy dress competition. I was dressed as a rosette and my cousin was a crown. My aunt made the costumes. I remember nothing about it at all.
My brother, sister and I in our old stamping ground last week. I’m on the left.
A corner of spring flowers in my garden.
No that's not me TillyTrotter! 
Whenever there's anything nationally significant going on e.g. wedding, funeral, change of PM, Brexit vote, whatever, my best friend and I go on a walking recce to have a gander! We both live about 1.5 miles from the action so head off to see what we can see.
There are a few people bagging their place - the Welsh lady, I'm assuming she's Welsh, said she arrived this morning.
Each to their own!
Ornamental cherry blossom in the garden.
A pot of snakeshead fritillaries and teeny tiny narcissus that I always look forward to seeing in the spring.
Blossom on todays walk
Primroses and forsythia last week in Derbyshire.
One of dd’s 3 sibling cats, just about fully grown now. She is very cuddly and tolerant of 3 very cuddle-loving young Gdcs.
Being battered by yesterday’s storm.

A (similarly) moody April day along the Somerset coast this week.
A moody bank holiday afternoon in Yorkshire.
Nothing ever happens on our street 🤣🤣 A pic I took about 2 years ago when someone had escaped custody at the local court. Housemate came to tell me there were armed police on our little street, he'd opened the door to put rubbish in the outside bin only to be yelled at to 'SHUT THE DOOR AND STAY INSIDE'. Poor bloke nearly had heart failure!
Anyway, I couldn't resist when I looked out my window to see them standing next to this sign on an old warehouse! 🤣🤣
The escapee was not on our street, but was recaptured elsewhere.
