The Spring is not yet Sprung.

Thursday being such a nice day, the weather being gentle I the 'guide' at the instigation of Pickle decided to take a walk in Stony Swamp to see if I could detect any signs of Spring. I used to walk in Stony Swamp with a very charming lady companion in all Seasons but now (at my age) there is no longer the same joy. Why am I feeling sorry for myself? I'm not. I am just making a comment.
I found no signs of Spring but I did find signs of a Failed Fall. The picture shows some leaves clinging ferociously to a branch having Failed to Fall in the Fall. Maybe this year!
