The simple views and delights of the first day of "Meteorological Spring." For the vistas and views of Moorgreen, and the delights of Greasley Church, was just bliss to see.

"Thank Goodness for that. Winter, Meteorological Winter is now gone and what is here instead? Well that of course is Meteorological Spring, a time in which the landscape will now begin to change quite rapidly with new life, new colour and beauty that can be seen as nature begins to awaken again after being in a rather deep sleep throughout the bare of Winter."

And it was on Sunday the 1st of March 2026 that with Spring in the air, that I just had to get out, the first place of course was Moorgreen - complete with its stunning vistas and views over towards the historic Beauvale Priory in the distance, an element of warmth and the landscape looking that little bit more alive. Okay the woodlands of Moorgreen perhaps were not back to their usual lush and green looks, but that did not matter as the landscape just looked beautiful, the bareness of Winter seeping away slowly, and below are the photos that I managed to capture.

"The Priory and Green Lands."

"Over the Hedgerow, and Green Lands a Glow."

"Rolling Panorama of Moorgreen towards the Priory."

"Like a Painting, the Landscape of Green and Colour return."

A short while after encountering and capturing those views, it was then a short drive back towards the historic Greasley Church, where of course I wanted to capture the first elements of Spring, and with that some incredibly simple yet beautiful compositions is what I found, with a delightful afternoon light, and of course Daffodils and Crocuses - making for some truly magical photographic opportunities and those photos can be seen here.
