Spring Colour

The light of the sun - Lesser Celandines (ranunculus ficaria, aka pilewort) in bloom in woodland in Co. Clare.

The clocks go forward, the sun shines for a couple of days and suddenly, it seems like summer. The west of Ireland is bursting with colour and life. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming and people are ringing into radio programmes claiming the first swallow sighting. The Spanish Arch was thronged with people today, and there was even a queue for the ice-cream stands in Salthill. Now, if you could only get ice to go with your pint bottles of cider, the picture would be complete…
