Springtime in Wensleydale

This year I have been able to be in Wensleydale to enjoy the full lambing and spring growth. I mentioned in a recent post that my life in the Yorkshire Dales doesn’t just follow the traditional winter, spring, summer, winter seasons but they are enhanced by the creatures and plants that appear in their natural pattern.

The months between March and the end of May feature new born lambs, bluebells, hawthorn and buttercups mixed in with other meadow flowers. This has been a dry springtime which has meant that the usual waterfalls have been lacking water so it is good that there are plenty of other things for me to chase.

Here are some of my favourite views of springtime in the Yorkshire Dales.
