Expect the unexpected...

From what I can garner, the Met Office weather forecast is as chaotic as the emerging season of spring: neither seem to be able to make their mind up. Instead of the predicted cloud cover I have warm spring sunshine, and flowers beginning to bloom three months early, as with the common hawthorn (left).

My original intention was to photograph emerging willow catkins along the Dorset Stour - that, too, is happening (but at roughly the right time) - but the hawthorn was completely unexpected.
