Blue sky thinking

Sometimes it's great not to have to be in a hurry. I took the time on my walk to the studio yesterday look up and enjoy the brilliant and beautiful blue sky. Spring was definitely in the air and I got the first glimpse of the giant old horse chestnuts which line our street beginning to stir. The branch tips and shoots sprouting from the trunk were bursting with glistening, sticky buds which sparkled in the sun. 

Further down the street, yellow blossom was just breaking on a bush I couldn't quite identify (any ideas?). Anyway, it was the sherbet lemon shade my eyes have been 
patiently craving.
