A Few Pictures of Early Spring

I, Mrs James and Youngest Daughter went for a bike ride today along a path that follows a river which is a lot cleaner than it looks in the photos below.  Further down, there are a couple of shots of a local lake in which silver birches grow for a few years when the water level is low, but then drown when the water rises.  Best of all, I managed to get my first ever shot of a Mourning Cloak butterfly.
